Explanation
|
|
The image shows a case of serous otitis media.
- The golden yellow coloration of tympanic membrane which is caused by the clear watery straw colored effusion filling the middle ear can be noted.
- Because the fluid is clear, one can see the structures of the inner ear quite clearly.

- Hence, the name glue ear tympanic membrane is often dull and opaque with the loss of a light reflex.
- Mobility of the tympanic membrane is restricted.
