History Of

The outcome of otitis media with effusion (OME) in children is generally good. However, it is less clear in adults. All adult patients who had a ventilation tube inserted for OME at the Ipswich Hospital between 1996 and 1997 were studied. Of 53 patients studied, 28 had had a previous history of ventilation tube insertion. Furthermore, at 15–27 months following ventilation tube insertion, the ventilation tube had already extruded in 31 patients and the OME had already recurred in 19 of these. Endoscopic examination revealed that many patients still had evidence of inflammation at the lateral nasal wall (26.4 per cent) and at the eustachian tube orifice (51 per cent). There is also a strong history of atopy in the studied group and the skin prick test was positive in 57 per cent of the patients. This study shows that many patients with adult-onset OME have underlying pathology that could lead to recurrence of OME following ventilation tube extrusion.
