  3. Right on.

    Hemotympanum.

    This is a sign of either skull base fractures (temporal) or ossicular chain dislocations.

    Hemotympanum is treated conservatively as they resolve spontaneously within 6 weeks. Secondary infection will warrant antibiotics and myringotomy if there is severe pain.
