The progress of otogenic bacterial labyrinthitis research

  

  • Received:2020-07-15 Published:2020-11-17

Abstract: Labyrinthitis is an infectious disease of the inner ear. Its main clinical manifestations are paroxysmal dizziness, vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss. This article focuses on the otogenic bacterial labyrinthitis associated with otitis media. According to the pathological manifestations of the inner ear, labyrinthitis can be divided into three types: circumscribed labyrinthitis, serous labyrinthitis, and suppurative labyrinthitis. Circumscribed labyrinthitis, also known as labyrinth fistula, is often complicated by middle ear cholesteatoma, which usually occurs in the horizontal semicircular canal. Serous labyrinthitis is a sterile inflammation in the inner ear caused by bacterial toxins, which often leads to misdiagnosis and misjudgment. Suppurative labyrinthitis is a bacterial infectious inflammation that occurs in the inner ear that often causes severe sensorineural hearing loss and dizziness. At present, otogenic labyrinthitis is no longer rare, although it has not attracted enough attention. This article reviews the different types of otogenic bacterial labyrinthitis in a combination of domestic and foreign literature to provide clinical help for early diagnosis and treatment of patients with this condition.
