Abstract
Karnashoola is one of the Karna rogas mentioned in Ayurveda. In various texts, the number of Karna rogas varies. Karnashoola is mentioned in detail by both Sushrutacharya and Vagbhatacharya. Karnashoola can be taken as a separate disease entity and also as a Lakshana of other diseases. Acharya Sushruta describes Shoola alone as a clinical feature in Karnashoola. On the other hand, Acharya Vagbhata incorporates Shoola, Srava, Nada, and Badhirata as sailent features of Karnashoola. Various research works consider Karnashoola as acute or chronic inflammatory conditions of the external and middle ear. Signs and symptoms of Kaphaja Karnashoola have a close resemblance with the disease Otomycosis. As chronicity and recurrence rate of disease is high, utmost importance should be given to these conditions as the slightest negligence may result in hearing impairment. In this current study, 36yr old male patient of Kaphaja Karnashoola who denied treatment for complications of ASOM was managed through an Ayurvedic line of management with controlling of infection and significant improvement in Hearing loss and healing of perforated Tympanic membrane.
