Heim-Kreissig Symptom

Heima Kraisng Symptom (HKS) is a rare condition that causes inflammation, swelling, or a cyst in the soft tissue of the ear. This condition is the result of abnormal development of bone and cartilage tissue, as well as disorders of the immune system. Symptoms of HKS may include ear pain, jaw stiffness, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, and runny nose. In severe cases, fever, hearing loss and the need for surgery may occur. The prognosis for HKS mainly depends on the stage of the disease and timely treatment.

The first recorded case of HKS is believed to be that of Kreisning, a German physician who described it in 1825. However, Einschling later noted in 1948 that even before Kreising, Heim, a German physician, described a similar case back in 1684. Modern experts called this pathological process the Heim-Kreising-Symptom.
