Relationship of Tympanogram Width (Tw) with Adenoid Hypertrophy: Predictor of Otitis Media with Effusion Occurance in Adenoid Hypertrophy

Abstract

Objectives: To review the literatures, it is still a controversy about different materials to take rate in tympanoplasty. This study aims to investigate the anatomical and outcomes of Transcanal Endoscopic tympanoplasty with different donor sites of grafts. Objective: To review the literatures, it is still a controversy about different materials to take rate in tympanoplasty. This study aims to investigate the anatomical and outcomes of Transcanal Endoscopic tympanoplasty with different donor sites of grafts. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who underwent Transcanal Endoscopic tympanoplasty with different donor sites of grafts at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. All calculations were performed with a commercial statistical software package(SPSS 12.0 for windows)

Association between Adenoid-Nasopharyngeal Ratio and Tympanogram Width in Adenoid Hypertrophy Patients

“…This result is in accordance with a study conducted by Wahyudiono and Halim, who obtained a significant correlation between true lateral radiography-based A-N ratio and Tw in adenoid hypertrophy patients ( p < 0.01). 13 The study of Nwosu et al showed a significant correlation between adenoid hypertrophy and middle-ear disorders in children aged 1 to 10 years ( p < 0.05). 3 A study conducted by Kiama also obtained a significant correlation between adenoid hypertrophy and the incidence of middle-ear disorders in children aged 1 to 8 years ( p < 0.05).…”
