What Causes Perforation In Ear?
My Uncle has had a sycopal episode with ear discharge. He can't recognize anyone. His brother is a general surgeon (my other uncle) has given him a shot of antibiotic. He speech is slightly slurred and is having a CT later today. He said that it looks like his ear is perferated also. Do you think that this could be a diease or an infection of the soft issue.
