Abstract
Introduction
Nasopharyngeal cancer commonly manifests with cervical lymphadenopathy, recurrent epistaxis and progressive nasal obstruction.Neuro-ophthalmic and otologic manifestations can also occur.Isolated 6 Pc. Sectional otologic presentations of nasopharyngeal cancer are rare and the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer may not be foremost in the list of differentials.
Case presentation
We present the case of a 29-year-old Nigerian woman with bilateral conductive hearing loss and tinnitus after air travel.There were no other symptoms.
The persistence of the symptoms after adequate treatment for otitic barotrauma necessitated re-evaluation, which led to a diagnosis of nasopharyngeal AEG KDK912924M 29cm Warming Drawer cancer.
Conclusion
Isolated otologic manifestations of nasopharyngeal cancer are rare in regions with low incidence of the disease.There is a need for it to be considered as a possible differential in patients presenting with bilateral serous otitis media.
