“…Among the 100 cases studied in present study, majority of them had grade 3 tonsillar hypertrophy (48%) followed by grade 2 tonsillar hypertrophy (46%) and grade 4 tonsillar hypertrophy was seen in only 6 cases (6%). 9 Here we can see grade 2 and 3 constitute around 94% which is comparable with Ajayan et al; where they got tonsillar hypertrophy of 2nd and 3rd grades to be most common grades together constituting around 90% of cases. They have stated that the effect of both obstruction and infection from tonsil and adenoid are seen to cause major ill effect nose and paranasal sinus, ET and middle ear cleft.…”

“…It is stated that a type B curve in tympanometry has an over 80% sensitivity of detection for OME. 9 Günel et al found type B tympanograms provided a sensitivity of 92.3% and a specificity of 91.9%. So, they suggested that tympanometry can make a more accurate diagnosis of pediatric OME in AH children with or without parental suspicion of HI.…”

“…12 Sanli et al mentioned that age is the most important risk factor for OME. 9 It is a childhood disease and as the age gets older, the incidence rate of the effusion decreases. This is because the ET shifts its anatomical orientation and gradually changes its angle from horizontal to vertical with age and as the child grows the immune system gets stronger by having met many types of allergens.…”

Background: Chronic adenotonsillitis results in obstruction of eustachian tube (ET) due to edema, by mechanical obstruction and the upper respiratory tract infection disrupts the mucocilliary action of ET which can lead to otitis media with effusion (OME). This when unresolved can result in persistent hearing loss and this might cause subsequent delay in development of language, social behaviour, learning difficulties which will affect the academic performance. Young children as are unable to voice their hearing loss and sometimes due to inattentiveness of parents to child’s hearing disorder; this might be neglected. The condition remains masked for a long time and hence need to be unmasked for its appropriate management.Methods: It is cross sectional study involving cases of chronic adenotonsillitis from November 2016 to May 2018. After enrolling the patients who met the inclusion criteria, their demographic details, examination findings including the findings of x-ray nasopharynx, pure tone audiometry (PTA) and tympanometry were noted for analysis. Results: Total 100 patients were studied in which history of hearing loss was seen in 23% and parents’ suspicions was in 22% of cases whereas hearing loss was demonstrated in 51% of cases using PTA ranging from 16-70 db in hearing level. Analyses of tympanogram revealed 43% to have either type B or type C tympanogram which are suggestive of OME.Conclusions: Audiological screening for children diagnosed with chronic adenotonsillitis needs to be made mandatory to detect OME, the silent hearing loss as parents as well as children will miss out on it.

“…Screening surveys of children in good health ranging in age from infants to age five years show a 15% to 40% prevalence of middle-ear effusion. 6,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Among children examined at normal intervals for one year, 50% to 60% of child care center attendees 17 and 25% of school-aged children 22 had otitis media with effusion at some time during the examination period, with elevated incidence during the winter months. Population-based screening has not impacted short-term language outcomes 18 and we have not assessed its long-term effects in a randomized clinical trial.…”

Introduction Otitis media with effusion is the fluid in the middle ear with no signs or symptoms of acute ear infection. Objective This study aims to research the frequency of serous otitis media in patients referred to the pediatric clinic between 3–16 years of age without any active ear, nose, and throat complaints. Methods This study included 589 children patients (280 boys, 309 girls; mean age: 9.42; range 3–16) who were administered to the pediatric clinic without otolaryngologic complaints. Patients underwent examination with flexible nasopharyngoscopy for adenoid hypertrophy. An otorhinolaryngologist examined all children on both ears using an otoscope and tested with tympanometry. We used tympanometry results to diagnose SOM. Results The study included 589 patients that underwent fiber optic examination of the nasopharynx with an endoscope. Adenoid vegetation was present in 58 patients (9.8%) and was not detected in 531 patients (90.2%). We found serous otitis media in 94 (15.9%) patients. We obtained Type A tympanogram in 47 (81%) of 58 patients with adenoid vegetation, 6 (10.3%) Type B, and 5 (8.6%) Type C. When comparing 58 patients with adenoid vegetation with 538 patients without adenoid vegetation for serous otitis media, the frequency was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion We believe that in children without any ear, nose, and throat complaints, it is possible to detect serous otitis media with adenoid vegetation. Thus, pediatric patients should undergo screening at regular intervals.

“…Otitis media is the most common childhood disease after viral upper respiratory tract infection. 8 OME is an inflammatory response of the middle ear characterized by tympanic cavity effusion and no symptoms of acute infection. OME is generally seen after acute otitis media (AOM) and a three-month-long course is defined as COME.…”

Is iron deficiency in children a risk factor in chronic otitis media with effusion?

Iron deficiency is the most common type of malnutrition worldwide and is a major health problem, especially in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, 30% of children aged 0-4 and 48% of children aged 5-14 in developing countries are anemic. 5 The laboratory tests frequently used in determining iron deficiency include hemoglobin (Hgb), MCV, serum iron, ferritin, and total iron binding capacity (TIBC). Among these parameters, TIBC increases in iron deficiency while the others decrease. 6 Methods The study was conducted between June 2015 and June 2016. Ethics committee approval was obtained from Regional Education and Research Hospital (2016/1-3). After informed about the study, informed consent was taken from all participants.
