Abstract
In horses with otitis media/interna, extension of the inflammatory pro cess to the adjacent temporohyoid joint and stylohyoid and petrous tem poral bones results in osseous proliferation along these bones and fus ion of the joint. Endoscopic examination of the auditory tube divertic ula may be a more sensitive procedure than skull radiography for detec tion of early osseous changes associated with chronic otitis media/int erna in horses.
