<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Adenoid Hypertrophy is the commonest disorder in children. The size of adenoids varies from child to child and also in the same individual as he grows and attains maximum size between age of 3 to 7 years. Adenoid hypertrophy plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion. Our objective was to study the tympanogram changes following adenoidectomy. i.e to find out the effect  of  adenoidectomy on Otitis Media with Effusion.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Patients showing &gt;50% of airway obstruction by the adenoids were included in the study. 20 patients with adenoid hypertrophy underwent adenoidectomy. Pre-operative and postoperative tympanograms of 40 ears were studied.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Type A curve (normal) was found in 12 ears. Type B Flat tympanogram – 12 ears s/o Gross Serous Otitis Media. Type C tympanogram – 8 ears s/o uncomplicated eustachian tube obstruction. 5 ears showed tympanogram s/o Eustachian tube block without significant collection of middle ear fluid. 3 ears showed tympanogram s/o uncomplicated eustachian tube obstruction. Post adenoidectomy, 32 ears showed normal tympanogram. 8 ears showed tympanogram s/o negative middle ear pressure with normal compliance.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our study shows high prevalence of Otitis Media with Effusion in patients with adenoid hypertrophy. Otitis Media with Effusion is treated by adenoidectomy in most of the patients which is confirmed by post adenoidectomy tympanogram. Also, problem of decreased attention in school due to reduced hearing secondary to OME can be corrected by adenoidectomy. Hence, all patients should undergo pre and post-adenoidectomy tympanometry to know the compliance and pressure changes in the middle ear.</p>

Abstract Background otitis media with effusion (OME) or glue ear is the collection of fluid behind the tympanic membrane without inflammatory signs present for 6 weeks. Aim of the Work comparing the effect of intra nasal versus systemic steroids in treatment of children with Otitis media with effusion as regard: Improvement of clinical symptoms and Audiological findings. Subjects and Methods this study is a prospective, case control study on the effects of intranasal versus systemic steroids on children with otitis media with effusion. This thesis study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed according to clinical and audiological assessment recruited from otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic Ain Shams university hospital from October 2017 to July 2018. An informed consent was obtained from each patient or control or their legal guardians before enrolment in the study. Results however, statistically there is no significant relation between the occurrence of complete resolution of OME and the route of administration of steroid (either intranasal or systemic), whatever the cause either allergic rhinitis or adenoid hypertrophy. So we can use either intranasal or systemic steroids in management of otitis media with effusion in children with either allergic rhinitis or adenoid hypertrophy or both. Conclusion both topical intranasal and oral steroids are effective adjunctive treatment for OME in children in the short term, without significant difference between the two methods, and thus oral steroid complications could be avoided using local steroid spray.

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.
