Myoclonus of the Auricular Muscles as the Cause of Objective Tympanophonia
Journal Title: Otolaryngology Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of the present article was to systematize the available data on the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostics and treatment of muscular tympanophonia. The common sourse of muscular tympanophonia is the tremor (myoclonus) of the soft palate or muscles of auditory ossicles. Sometimes this condition can be a consequence of myoclonus of the external ear muscles. Pharmacotherapy of muscular tympanophonia does not invariably result in the favourable outcome. The authors describe a rare observation of objective tympanophonia attributable to myoclonus of auricular muscle.
