Suppurative Otitis Media

Carcinoma of middle ear is very rare condition being one in 20,000 new patients. The commonest primary middle ear malignancy is usually squamous cell carcinoma. A 36-year-male presented with right sided severe earache with blood stained aural discharge, associated with headache and deviation of angle of the mouth to the opposite side. He had ear discharge since childhood. On examination he had bleeding polypoidal mass in the right external auditory canal & tympanic membrane was not visualized. He also had features of facial nerve palsy. CT scan of brain finding was chronic right mastoiditis & right temporal lobe abscess causing significant mass effect. The patient was undergone Burr-hole operation. After 2 weeks right radical mastoidectomy was done. There was huge granulation tissue involving middle ear, attic & mastoid antrum and ossicles was eroded. Histopathology report revealed infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma grade-I. The patient was sent for radiotherapy & asked for follow up monthly. In long standing chronic suppurative otitis media with blood stained discharge & facial nerve palsy, middle ear malignancy should be suspected.

Though squamous cell carcinoma is the commonest tumor, it rarely presents in the middle ear andfollows a history of chronic ear discharge. Postauricular mastoid fistula is also a rare complicationof chronic otitis media. These two pathological changes occurring simultaneously are even rarer.We report a rare case of a 37 years old male with a history of left-sided chronic ear discharge andconductive hearing loss. Squamous cell carcinoma along with postauricular mastoid fistula wasdiagnosed based on high-resolution computed tomography scan and histopathology. Left modifiedradical mastoidectomy with tympanic membrane grafting was done under general anesthesia.Often middle ear tumor is associated with long-standing ear discharge and this case is a very goodexample. The co-occurrence of the middle ear tumor with mastoid fistula is extremely rare as boththe entities are rare in itself.

Middle Ear Infection

The prevalence rate of chronic suppurative otitis media is high and its treatment continues to be a challenge for the otorhinolaryngologists. Due to middle ear infection, there may be pain, hearing loss and spontaneous rupture of the eardrum which results in perforation. Infections can cause a hole in the eardrum as a side effect of otitis media. The patients suffering from ear perforation or having a hole in eardrum require preventing entry of water in the ear. This article describes the development of ear cap using additive manufacturing and TRIZ (a collaborative tool) to prevent the entry of water in the ear during chronic otitis media.

Background: Cholesteotoma is a benign but destructive lesion leading to ossicular necrosis. Objective: To see the frequency of incus bone erosion on mastoid exploration in chronic suppurative otitis media with middle ear cholesteotoma. Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Setting: This study was carried out in the Department of ENT Unit-2, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore. Duration of Study: Fifteen months months (10th April, 2019 to 9th July, 2020) Sample technique: Non- probability purposive sampling Methods: One hundred and twenty patients were admitted through outpatient department of ENT Unit-2, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore. Patients were included after fulfilling the inclusion criteria and information was collected on a prescribed proforma. Finally during surgery under general anesthesia, the operative findings were noted to know the incus bone erosion after middle ear cholesteatoma formation in chronic suppurative otitis media. Results: A total number of one hundred and twenty patients of chronic suppurative otitis media with middle ear cholesteatoma were included. Out of which 80 (66.7%) were males and 40 (33.3%) were females(Table 1).The patients shown in table 2 were divided in six age groups (Table 2).Table 3 shows that the procedure of mastoidectomy was performed in 112 patients (93.3%) and modified radial mastoidectomy was performed in 8 patients (6.7%).Incus bone erosion in chronic suppurative otitis media with middle ear cholesteatoma in 102 patients (85%) and 18 patients (15%) have no incus bone erosion (Table 4). Conclusion: Ear discharge was the most common presenting characteristic of chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma. The majority of the cases had ossicular erosion, with the incus being the most common site of involvement. Males are more likely than females to develop cholesteatoma.

Objective. Biofilms have been shown to play a major role in the pathogenesis of otolaryngologic infections. However, very limited studies have been undertaken to demonstrate the presence of biofilms in tissues from patients with chronic otitis media (COM) with or without cholesteatoma. Our objective is to study the presence of biofilms in humans with chronic suppurative and nonsuppurative otitis media and cholesteatoma.Study Design. In all, 102 tissue specimens (middle ear, mastoid tissue, and ossicle samples) were collected during surgery from 34 patients.Methods. The samples were processed for the investigation of biofilms by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Results. Our research supports the hypothesis in which biofilms are involved in chronic suppurative otitis media, cholesteatoma, and, to a lesser degree, chronic nonsuppurative otitis media. There were higher rates in hypertrophic and granulated tissue samples than in normal mucosa. In addition, the presence of biofilms was significantly higher in the middle ear mucosa compared with the mastoid and ossicle samples.Conclusion. In the clinic, the careful use of topical or systemic antimicrobials is essential, and, during surgery, hypertrophic tissue must be carefully removed from normal tissue.
