Barotrauma

A 14 year old comes into the clinic setting with ear pain that started after getting out of the swimming pool. The pain is described as a constant sharp pain, accompanied with intermittent ringing, light-headedness, and a change in hearing. Clear fluid is draining from the ear during the examination. After performing a Weber/Rinne tuning fork test and consulting with ENT a diagnosis of Perilymphatic Fistula is given and emergency surgery is required to correct the problem.

The Mystery of a Very Sleepy Infant

Take home point:
Rather than using a sternal rub to arouse a sleepy or lethargic child, a more subdued method is holding the hand of the child and pressing the nail bed.
