“…The gustatory dysfunction in middle-ear diseases is rarely described in past literature. Only a handful of related full clinical studies have been performed in the past, [1][2][3][4][5] and the majority of them have focused on chronic mucosal diseases. Additionally, the comparison of taste dysfunction between mucosal and squamous diseases has been rarely addressed in the world literature.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the gustatory function between patients with chronic mucosal and squamous diseases before and after the surgery. Method A total of 33 patients with mucosal diseases and 34 patients with squamous diseases were evaluated for gustatory function both in the pre-operative and post-operative periods. The taste scores were compared between the two groups. Results The gustatory scores in the mucosal disease group were significantly better than the scores in the squamous disease group (p < 0.05). There was no significant correlation detected between the age of the patients or duration of the disease with the taste scores in any of the study groups. Conclusion The improvement in gustatory score was better in the chronic mucosal disease group than the squamous disease group. There was no significant correlation found between the age of the patients or duration of disease and the taste score in any of the study groups.
