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.

Intracranial extension of acquired cholesteatoma is a rare occurrence that can develop secondary to trauma, chronic otitis media or acquired aural cholesteatoma. The most commonly observed symptoms are headache and hearing loss. The authors report on a rare case of intracranial cholesteatoma presenting with atypic symptoms: swelling and temporomandibular joint disorders.

ABSTRACT Objective Cephalometric assessment of Eustachian tube (ET) parameters and audiological evaluation in Down syndrome (DS) and Chronic Otitis Media (COM) and comparison with controls. The ET length, Total Cranial Base (TCB), Posterior Upper Facial Height (PUFH), Maxillary Depth (MD), s-ba (sella-basion) to Palatal Line (PL) and s-ba to ET length were considered. Materials and methods The study comprised of 75 subjects of both sexes in the age range of 7 to 20 years. Digital lateral cephalometry was performed for DS, COM and controls (n = 25). Pure tone audiometry (PTA) and immittance audiometry (IA) was performed to assess audiological status. Results ET length, PUFH, TCB and MD was found to be significantly reduced in DS and COM. s-ba to PL and s-ba to ET was significantly reduced in DS and COM. The s-ba to PL and s-ba to ET length angle in moderate and severe CHL (Conductive Hearing Loss) was decreased significantly. The s-ba to ET length was significantly decreased in patients with B and C tympanogram. Conclusion Aberration in the dimension of the region of the ET can be considered as a predisposing factor for otitis media and conductive hearing loss in DS.

Objective Abnormal autophagy plays a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. This study aimed to evaluate associations between the clinical manifestations of chronic otitis media (COM) and expression of autophagy markers. Methods Associations between presence of bacteria, otorrhea, and conductive and sensorineural hearing loss and levels of autophagy-related mRNAs were investigated in 47 patients with COM. Results Autophagy-related mRNAs were detected in all inflammatory tissues of COM patients. LC3-II showed the highest level of expression, followed by Beclin-1, P13KC3, Rubicon, and mTOR. Beclin-1 mRNA levels were significantly lower in culture-positive than in culture-negative patients. Conclusion Autophagy is involved in the pathogenesis of COM. The finding that expression of autophagy markers, especially Beclin-1, was lower in culture-positive than in culture-negative patients suggested that these markers are closely associated with the clinical features of COM.

Middle Ear Disease

Since the risk of sensorineural hearing loss from persistent chronic otitis media and mastoiditis is greater than the risk to loss of labyrinthine function from carefully performed surgery, it is felt that the best treatment for chronic suppurative middle ear disease in an only-hearing ear is surgical removal of disease. Between the years 1961 to 1970 14 cases of chronic otitis media and mastoiditis in only-hearing ears were treated surgically at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. Five cases presented with resistant foul otorrhea, while five patients presented with increasing hearing loss and four with vertigo. The patients with hearing loss and vertigo were subjected to surgery at the earliest possible date. Wide-field surgical exposure of the mastoid and middle ear spaces with thorough removal of diseased tissue was carried out. Particular attention to avoid injury to the labyrinth, either directly or indirectly, must be kept in mind and it is recommended that surgery in only-hearing ears be performed by only the most experienced and capable otologic surgeon. All 14 ears have remained dry after surgery. Hearing was significantly improved in ten cases, while two were unchanged and two were made worse, as regards the conductive loss only. In all 14 cases postoperative discrimination scores were normal, so that even those cases that did not achieve serviceable hearing levels from surgery were able to use amplification. The results in this series confirm the feeling that carefully performed and timed surgery is effective in controlling chronic suppurative disease, while preserving function in only-hearing ears.
