Abstract
Nasal obstruction, postnasal discharge, and a unilateral serous otitis media in the adult are frequently early signs of a nasopharyngeal neoplasm. An isolated tuberculous infection of the nasopharynx may produce a similar symptom complex. A profound hearing loss can occur in the absence of bacterial involvement of the middleear structures. Specific treatment can produce complete recovery and a normal audiogram.
