Pediatric Tympanoplasty and the Role of Preoperative Eustachian Tube Evaluation

Cliff A. Megerian
1

Abstract: Hypothesis: Pediatric tympanic membrane perforations can be successfully repaired if the child can taste otologic drops instilled in the ear canal.

“…In our study, the status of the contralateral ear was used as a measure of eustachian tube function 3 , 11 , 12 . Eustachian tube function is usually symmetrical in children; thus, a contralateral ear with an intact tympanic membrane may be a good indicator of expected eustachian tube function of the operated ear 13 , 14 . The statistical analysis of our data clearly indicates that eustachian tube function is not an important factor and does not influence the outcome of the said surgery (Table III).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…27 An extensive review was unable to find eustachian tube testing preoperatively to be a significant prognostic value for tympanoplasty success. 54 The most recent systematic review on pediatric type I tympanoplasties also did not endorse eustachian tube function as a factor in graft success. 53 Furthermore, it is unclear whether palatoplasties improve eustachian tube function.…”

“…On the most basic level, a successful tympanoplasty requires survival of the TM graft without reperforation. However, some authors have required additional factors, such as middle ear aeration 7,8 . TM perforation occured in 25 out of 35 patients (71.4%).…”
