We Mainly Discuss At Length About Membrane In Tonsil

We - Vincent's angina
Mainly - Malignancy
Discuss - Diptheria
At - Agranulocytosis
Length - Leukemia
About - Apthous ulcers
Membrane - Membranous Tonsillitis

Gradenigo's triad

EAR

E-Ear discharge
A-Abducens palsy
R-Retro orbital pain(5th nerve involved)

indications of tympanoplasty-
ABCDES

A- age should be above 10yrs when sufficient resistance develops
B- benign (tubotympanic disease) can be corrected
C- conductive deafness can corrected
D- dry perforation gives best results
E- eustachian tube should be functioning properly
S- stapes should be mobile
