A Case of ANCA Positive Refractory Otitis Media Started with Otitis Media with Effusion

Otitis Media with Effusion

Otitis media with effusion (OME), also called glue ear, is characterised by a collection of fluid in the middle-ear cleft. there is chronic inflammation but without signs of acute inflammation. OME is the most common cause of hearing impairment (and the most common reason for elective surgery) in childhood, where it usually follows an episode of acute otitis media (AOM). It is uncommon in adult...

Distinguishing Acute Otitis Media From Otitis Media With Effusion

Correlation between Allergic Rhinitis and Otitis Media with Effusion

Introduction: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is prevalent among children in such a way that it is the most common cause of hearing loss and surgery in childhood. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated hypersensitivity has been proposed as a causative factor in the development of OME; however, there has been contrasting data in this regard. Therefore, the present study aimed to detect the possi...
