Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Middle ear diseases are very common in Indian population.as Eustachian tube a part of middle ear cleft its dysfunction can result in middle ear pathologies,also failure of surgeries for chronic otitis media with tympanic membrane perforation.Aim is to study Eustachian tube function in those having middle ear pathologies. Materials and Methods:50 adults with normal tympanic membrane and 50 patients with chronic otitis media (inactive mucosal type)were selected including retracted tympanic membrane ,healed central perforation and post operative patients who underwent myringoplasty or type 1 tympanoplasty . Age range was between 18 to 49 yrs. All patients were subjected to pure tone audiometry and graphical recording of their hearing threshold were made. Tympanometry was done in all patients. Eustachian tube function was assessed by Valsalva test, pneumatic otoscopy (siegalization), nasopharyngoscopy & tympanometry.comparative and multivariate study between indicator factors conducted. Results:. In 50 Chronic otitis media patients with dry central perforation, 32 patients (64%) had Eustachian tube dysfunction and only 18 patients (36%) had normal function. In patients with retracted tympanic membrane ,healed central perforation and post operative patients who underwent myringoplasty or type 1 tympanoplasty ,7 out of 8 [87.5%] patients with healed central perforation and 10 out 12 [83%] post tympanoplasty patients had normal tubal function suggesting that normal functioning of Eustachian tube function plays a major role in healing of the perforation and success of Tympanoplasty. Conclusion: . In most of the CSOM patients and patients with retracted ear drum also the impairment of Eustachian tube function was found to be statistically significant. ET function was found to be partially or grossly impaired in most patients with recurrent or residual CP
