Цель - представить обзор зарубежной литературы, посвященной миоклонусу мышц среднего уха - самой распространенной причине объективного пульсирующего шума в ушах, и два типичных клинических случая. Диагностика миоклонуса мышц среднего уха трудна, так как зачастую отсутствуют отклонения в результатах обследования. Повышение осведомленности специалистов о заболевании и правильная его диагностика имеют важное значение для успешного лечения.

Keywords: MEM; myoclonus of the middle ear.
