Objectives. The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological and clinical aspects of chronic otitis media and its therapeutic processes in our context. Patients and Methods. In a prospective study over a period of 1 year (March 2009–February 2010), 79 patients with chronic otitis media have been cared for in the otolaryngology ward of the University Hospital of Ouagadougou. Results. Chronic otitis media (COM) commonly occurs in the age group from 0 to 15 years (40.50%). Otorrhea was the main reason for consultation in 53 cases (67.10%); the most frequently encountered clinicopathological forms were simple COM (71%) followed by otitis media with effusion (24.30%). Intra-auricular instillations of traditional products (46.09%) were the dominant favoring factor. Treatment was essentially through medication in 59 cases with a stabilization of lesions. Endotemporal complications were noticed in 6 cases. Conclusion. The fight against chronic otitis media is carried out through preventive measures of education the of people.

Recurrent Otitis Media

Otitis media and adenoid infection are popular with children. Chronic adenoid is considered as a cause to otitis media in children because infection in adenoid is likely to bring bacteria into middle ear through eustachian tube. Adenoidectomy is regarded as both a treatment measure and a prevention of complications caused by adenoid infection. Objectives: To find out any relations between otitis media and adenoid infection, eveluate the effectiveness of adenoidectomy in otitis media. Subjects and Methods: 54 patients with otitis media and adenoid infection that were diagnosed and treated at the University Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Hue from Apr-2014 to Jun-2015. A descriptive, prospective study was conducted with clinical intervention. Results: There are relations between the frequency of adenoid infection and otitis media, yet no relations have been found between level of size of adenoidand otitis media. After adenoidectomy, 76.7% of the patients recovered from recurrent otitis media, 82.9% of the patients recovered from otitis media with effusion, 100% of the patients suffering with chronic otitis media got stable. Conclusion: There are relations between the frequency of adenoid infection and otitis media. The size of adenoid is not relevant to otitis media. Adenoidectomy has positive impact on the treatment of otitis media. Key words: Otitis media, adenoidectomy.

A Prospective study was carried out from Jan 2000 Jan 2003, to find out the prevalence of OME among School children The study was done in Dhaka City and adjacent areas of Dhaka City in Savar, Munshigonj and Keranigonj, Altogether 280 Students aged 4-9 years were interviewed and examined. Nineteen percent children were found to have OME. In the urban community it was 17%, but in rural areas it was 21%. In our study children with OME were more in poorer people, smoker parents and bottle fed babies. Key words: Otitis media with effusion (OME), school children.DOI: 10.3329/bjo.v15i1.4308 Bangladesh J of Otorhinolaryngology 2009; 15(1): 31-34

Objective: To study the clinical, audiological and radiological characteristics along with the management outcome of chronic otitis media with effusion. Setting: Department of Otolaryngology & Head - Neck Surgery, Dhaka Shishu Hospital and Apollo Hospital's Dhaka, Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: This study included three hundred and thirty patients of chronic Otitis media with effusion that have been treated in the department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery, at Dhaka Shishu Hospital and Apollo Hospitals, Dhaka from January, 2007 to July, 2008. The data of patients included age, sex, presenting symptoms and signs, preoperative investigations like pure tone audiometry (PTA) and Impedance test, operation notes, complications of surgery and state at follow up. Results: This study included 198 males and 132 females. 222 patients (67.27%) were in the age group of 2-5 years. Main presenting symptom was fullness of the ear (50.30%) and main presenting sign was dull eardrum (72.18%). Turning fork test and PTA have been done in the age group of 7-10 years. In 166(59.30%) patients Impedence was type B. 222 (66.69%) patients have been cured with medical treatment. 69(20.90%) patients underwent grommet insertion as medical treatment has been failed in those patients. Two patients developed postoperative chronic suppurative otitis media with central perforation and one patient developed thinned tympanic membranes that have been treated conservatively. Conclusion: Chronic otitis media with effusion is usually not a threat to life but result in complications. As long as fluid is present in the middle ear, hearing will be affected. Hearing problems can interfere with language development in children. Any fluid that lasts longer than 3 months should be treated surgically.

A Prospective Study

Otitis media with effusion is a common cause of diminished hearing in children younger than 12 years. Hypertrophy of adenoids is one of the commonest etiologies of this condition. It has been mentioned that with increased size of the adenoid tissue, the more likely the incidence of fluid in the middle ear. The aim of this study was to find whether there is a correlation between adenoid size, tympanometric findings, and type of fluid in the middle ear irrespective of disease duration. This is a prospective study done on 100 pediatric patients (12 years and less) presented with chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) and adenoid hypertrophy from July 2015 till July 2017. Cases with tympanometry evidence of COME (B, Cs) and adenoid hypertrophy seen by nasal endoscopy were included. Adenoid size was graded and correlated with the type of tympanometry and type of fluid in the middle ear. Sixty male children and 40 female children were involved. Age ranged from 3 to 12 years with a mean of 7.19 ± 2.489 years. Highly significant relation existed between grade 4 adenoid hypertrophy and mucoid nature of middle ear fluid ( P value = .000). There is a highly significant relation between adenoid hypertrophy grade Ⅳ and type B tympanometry. There is a highly significant relation between adenoid size and nature of middle ear fluid irrespective of the duration of complaints, where grade Ⅳ adenoid hypertrophy showed more increase in middle ear effusion viscosity making adenoid size a very important predictor for the tympanometry type and the nature of the fluid in the middle ear.
