Otitis media (OM) represents a complex set of clinically defined disease phenotypes.
Epidemiological and pathological data suggest that inflammation of the middle ear occurs …

Context: Childhood acute otitis media (AOM) is highly prevalent. Its usual sequela of middle
ear effusion (MEE) can lead to conductive hearing loss, for which surgery is commonly used …

Objective: To evaluate Temporal Bone Computed Tomography of patients with chronic otitis
media and describe abnormalities in the contralateral ear. Method: Cross-sectional study …

Objective. To analyze the contralateral ear (CLE) of patients with cholesteatoma and to
correlate the cholesteatoma growth pattern in the affected ear with the findings in the CLE …

Objective: To analyze anatomic variations and their frequency, such as facial nerve
dehiscence (FND), labyrinthine fistula (LF), dural exposure (DE), high juguler bulb (HJB) …

Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional and descriptive methods were used in 100 patients
with COM who were selected for surgical treatment and admitted to hospital. An information …

Purpose Our aim was to investigate the course of the hearing capacity of the better-hearing
ear in single-sided deafness (SSD) and asymmetric hearing loss (AHL) over time, in a …

Results: The incidence of otoscopic CLEs structural abnormalities was 47.91% in both
groups; being 45.83% in “Group 1” mostly 25% of TM retraction, and 50% in “Group 2” …

Conclusion: The high prevalence of pathological changes in the contralateral ear (CLE)
among children treated because of middle ear cholesteatoma (MEC) was observed …

Chronic otitis media (COM) is one of the oldest disease affecting ears and undoubtedly
represents the main area of interest within modern otology. As the main cause of COM is …
