błony [bębenkowe] matowe dull, lustreless tympanic membranes Explanation: błony bębenkowe - eardrums The tympanic membrane (also tympanum, myrinx or eardrum), is a thin membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear. Its function is to transmit sound from the air to the ossicles inside the middle ear. The malleus bone bridges the gap between the eardrum and the other ossicles. Rupture or perforation of the eardrum can lead to conductive hearing loss. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eardrum the canal looks fine, but the eardrum looks dull, a little red, or sometimes badly inflamed. - www.drreddy.com/earache.htm The ear drum has been uniformly flat or indrawn, with one exception, and often immobile with a pneumatic speculum. It is lustreless and appears thickened - The left tympanic membrane was lustreless without any perforation - www.springerlink.com/index/E0LT96245H61016H.pdf |
