	Otalgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Primary otalgia is from pain that originates inside the ear.
		Referred otalgia is from pain that originates from outside the ear.
		Typical sources of primary otalgia are external otitis, otitis media, mastoiditis, auricular infections, and, rarely, GERD.

	Encyclopedia: Otalgia
		By definition, referred otalgia is the sensation of ear pain originating from a source outside the ear.
		Pathophysiology: The sensory innervation of the ear is served by the auriculotemporal branch of the fifth cranial nerve (CN V), the first and second cervical nerves, the Jacobson branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, the Arnold branch of the vagus nerve, and the Ramsey Hunt branch of the facial nerve.
		Neuroanatomically, the sensation of otalgia is thought to center in the spinal tract nucleus of CN V. Not surprisingly, fibers from CNs V, VII, VIV, and X and cervical nerves 1, 2, and 3 have been found to enter this spinal tract nucleus caudally near the medulla.

	THE MERCK MANUAL OF GERIATRICS, Ch. 129, Ear Disorders
		Otalgia may result from an ear disorder (eg, inflammation of the pinna, external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, or middle ear) or from pain referred along neural pathways, including the trigeminal, glossopharyngeal, vagus, and cervical nerves.
		Malocclusion due to poorly fitting dentures may trigger pain in the temporomandibular joint, which may be referred to the ear.
		If no otic source for otalgia can be identified, the head and neck--particularly the nasopharynx, hypopharynx, base of the tongue, and tonsillar fossae--must be examined.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 7, Ch. 82, Approach To The Patient With Ear Problems
		Earache (otalgia) occurs with infections and neoplasms in the external or middle ear (see Table 82-2) or is referred to the ear from remote disease processes (see Table 82-3).
		If there is no disease in the ear, the source of referred pain should be sought in areas receiving sensory supply from the cranial nerves that subserve sensation in the external and middle ear--ie, the 5th (trigeminal), 9th (glossopharyngeal), and 10th (vagus) nerves.
		Specifically, the cause of obscure otalgia should be sought in the nose, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, teeth, gingiva, temporomandibular joint, mandible, parotid glands, tongue, palatine tonsils, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and esophagus.
