Otitis media in children causes hearing loss, serious complications, negatively affects the child's development. Maxillo-facial pathology changes anatomical relationships in the region of the middle ear. The aim of the paper was to analyze the peculiarities of the middle ear in children with maxillofacial pathology and to optimize the management of otitis media in children in this group. A prospective study was performed based on middle ear monitoring in children with maxillofacial pathology, complex detailed examination, treatment according to developed algorithms and post-surgical middle ear monitoring. The evolution of otitis media in children with maxillofacial pathology has obvious features: the tendency to chronic purulent inflammatory process in middle ear and progression of hearing loss. Children with maxillo-facial pathology require monitoring of the middle ear for early diagnosis of otitis media and appropriate treatment.

Recently an increase in the incidence of mucormycosis is noticed in COVID-19 cases. The main aim of this study is to present our experience of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients and thereby aid its early diagnosis and treatment. This is a prospective study of 12 cases diagnosed as Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis . Presentation of mucormycosis in COVID-19, their temporal association and outcome of treatment was studied. Pre-existing comorbidities were seen in 91.67% patients, Diabetes Mellitus (83.33%). Previous history of COVID-19 infection and treatment for the same in 41.67% cases, concomitant infection in 16.67% and asymptomatic undiagnosed covid (antibodies positive) was detected in 41.67%. All patients showed improvement in general and nasal condition (100%). Early diagnosis is must.

SummaryDespite the huge advances in clinical audiology over the past few decades, tuning fork tests are still used extensively in the diagnosis of hearing loss. This study investigates the usefulness, reliability and accuracy of tuning fork tests in a group of children involved in a prospective study of glue ear, and shows them to be of dubious value.
