TO EVALUATE THE HEARING RESULTS FOLLOWING OSSICULAR RECONSTRUCTION IN PATIENT WITH CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTTITIS MEDIA.

Ossicular chain status in chronic suppurative otitis media in adults.

This study was conducted to find out the status of the ossicles in cases of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). One hundred and fifty cases of CSOM, who underwent surgery, were included and their intra-operative ossicular chain findings noted. Ossicular erosion was found to be much more common in unsafe CSOM than in safe CSOM. Malleus was found to be the most resistant ossicle to erosion w...

Ossicular Chain Defects in Tubotympanic Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media

This study was conducted to find out the frequency of ossicular chain pathology in cases of tubotympanic chronic suppurative otitis media. This was prospective study, carried out in the department of otorhinolarymgology, NIMS medical college, Jaipur from Jan 2014 to June 2015. One hundred fifty cases of chronic suppurative otitis media, who underwent surgery, were included and their intraoperat...

Allergic Rhinitis in Adults with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media

Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is considered one of the most common causes of acquired hearing impairment in developing countries. CSOM is a multifactorial persistent inflammatory disease of the middle ear. A distinct pathophysiologic mechanism linking allergic rhinitis (AR) and CSOM remains to evolve. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between A...

Results of single stage ossicular reconstruction by incus transposition in patients with chronic otitis media

High-frequency conductive hearing loss as a diagnostic test for incomplete ossicular discontinuity in non-cholesteatomatous chronic suppurative otitis media

Chronic suppurative otitis media, with or without cholesteatoma, may lead to erosion of the ossicles and discontinuity of the ossicular chain. In incomplete ossicular discontinuity (IOD), partial erosion of the ossicles occurs, but some sound transmission is noted throughout the ossicular chain. High-frequency conductive hearing loss (HfCHL) has been considered a hallmark of incomplete ossicula...
