Serial otoendoscopic findings in patient 1. Note that minor bleeding is visible behind the intact left tympanic membrane (TM) and along the line between the annular ligament and epidermis of the TM (black arrows in panels (a - e). a Day 0, (b) Day 1, (c) Day 2, (d) Day 3, (e) Day 4, (f) Day 15. Pure tone audiometry tested the day of trauma (Day 0) revealed a minimum air-bone gap on the left side (g) which was improved after 1 month (h). The axial views of temporal bone computed tomography at Day 0 revealed a very small soft tissue density in the Prussak’s space (white arrows), consistent with iTM hemorrhage observed on otoendoscopic examination (i and j)
