[The new Siegle's otoscope - a step by step manual for converting a 0 degrees telescope into a pneumatic video-otoscope].
The simple technique of Siegle's otoscope has unfortunately passed out of date. Ever since, tympanometry gives a general view over pressure conditions in the middle ear in a fast way. Only with pneumatic otoscopy, the examiner gets more detailed information if the tympanic membrane is sclerotic or retracted. In a step by step manual we are able to show an easy and inexpensive way to convert a 0 degrees telescope into a pneumatic video otoscope only by using accessories one can find in any ENT clinic. Again the examination technique with the pneumatic otoscope is very simple, with the benefit of getting video images for analysis in slow motion and action replay and not at least for storage. Sample images of exemplary clinical findings are given to top off the instruction.
