Overview: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is the most common type of Otitis
media (OM), especially in young children between 2-5 years. The main cause of this type
is the decrease in ventilation of the middle ear, which creates purulent fluid. Sev
eral factors
play a significant role in etiology as Eustachian tube dysfunction, adenoid hypertrophy and
allergically causes, in addition to the immunological and metabolic disorders. The main
symptom of (OME) is poor hearing, which may lead to permanent hearing loss if
untreated. The traditional treatment of (OME) has not been successful in quite a number of
cases.
Aim of study: Evaluation of the effect of bite opening technique in management of
chronic otitis media with effusion in children.
Materials and Methods:This clinical study included 30 cases of otitis media with
effusion. Ages of patients were between 2 - 10 years old, which were managed at the
Auditory Clinics at Al-Assad University Hospital in Lattakia.
Aim:
To evaluate and compare the rate of cholesteatoma recurrence after Atticotomy surgery to that after Canal Wall Up Mastoidectomy (CWU).
Material and Methods:
The study involved 57 patients admitted to the ENT Department Almoassat Hospital. A
tticotomy was performed in 30 cases, whilst CWU mastoidectomy within 27 cases. Follow up period was extended for two years to compare the symptoms and the necessity for second Ossiculoplasty surgery.
Results:
The recurrence rate was 23.33 % within atticotomy group, whilst it was 22.21 % in CWU group. CWU mastoidectomy showed better outputs in diffused cholesteatoma cases.
Conclusion:
A limited cystic cholesteatoma can be treated effectively by atticotomy, however CWU mastoidectomy remains the favorable technique to manage a diffused cholesteatoma.
