As wideband absorbance (WBA) gains popularity, it is essential to understand the impact of
different middle ear pathologies on the absorbance patterns as a function of frequency in …

As a result of more than 30 of experience studying cholesteatoma, this chapter proposes to
discuss all aspects related to this disease in a contemporary view but without leaving aside …

Purpose To present a large series ears with tympanic membrane perforations (TMP), to
describe their characteristics, and to propose a new classification system based on the …

Background There is a lack of studies concerning chronic otitis media without
cholesteatoma. Objectives To perform an analysis of tympanic membrane perforations …

Introduction Cholesteatoma is a disease with significant clinical impact but is incompletely
understood. The challenge of performing studies with long-term follow-up in humans is a …

Objectives The objective of this study was to describe wideband absorbance (WBA) findings
in patients with cholesteatomas and retraction pockets (RPs). Design In this prospective …

Objective Owing to the limited literature demonstrating the correlation between the degree of
severity of retractions and the degree of hearing loss in children and adults, the study aimed …

Background: The more severe the middle ear inflammation with chronic suppurative otitis
media (CSOM), the more likely its contralateral middle ear suffers from chronic otitis media …

Tympanic membrane (TM) retractions, when moderate or severe, because they determine
irreversible changes in the middle ear (ME), are considered chronic otitis media. They …

Objective: To compare the incidence and the histopathological aspect of spontaneous and
two induced Mongolian gerbils' models of cholesteatoma: External Auditory Canal (EAC) …
