4.7 Treatment
1. Medical treatment:
The use of the topical nasal steroid has shown to speed the clearance of OME and prevents recurrences. However, oral steroids, antibiotics, antihistamine, nasal deconges­tants, and mucolytics did not show any benet in OME [9].
2. Surgical treatment: The benet of myringotomy and tympa-
nostomy tubes’ (TT) insertion is to improve hearing and decrease rates of recurrent otitis media. TT is inserted in the anteroinferior

rent episodes. If effusion persists, then the following pathologies can happen:
1. Tympanosclerosis.
2. Atelectasis, retraction pocket, or adhesive oti­tis media.
3. Cholesteatoma.
In cases of ventilation tube insertion, if tubes
persisted for more than 36months, then TM per­foration can occur.
quadrant of TM; posterior positioning of TT is associated with earlier extrusion.
4.7.1 Indication ofTT Insertion
1. Patient with OME has symptoms like poor school performance, balance disturbance, or behavioral issues [10].
2. Patient with bilateral OME of less than 3 months and documented hearing loss, espe­cially when hearing loss is more than 30dB.
3. Changes to TM-like retraction may mandate TT insertion [10].

Note: Children with chronic OME who do not receive TT insertion should be re-evaluated at 3­and 6-month interval until resolution of the effu­sion [11].
4.7.2 TT Types
1. Short-term tube: Armstrong, Shepard, and
Teon Reuter Bobbin. They last between 6
and 24months.
2. Long-term tubes: Modied Goode T-tubes,
buttery, Triune, and Paparella II.These tubes
can last for years (Fig.4.7).
4.7.3 Role ofAdenoidectomy
Adenoidectomy is offered in children who pres­ent with nasal obstruction or recurrent rhinor­rhea. Moreover, it is considered in cases where the second trial of TT placement is warranted.

Take-Home Messages
• Ninety percent of children will have middle ear effusion by the age of 4, but the majority will resolve spontaneously.
• Ex vacuo theory and inammatory the­ory are the two leading theories that explain the pathogenesis of OME.
• Risk factors of OME are young age, horizontal ET anatomy, craniofacial abnormalities, adenoid hypertrophy, daycare attendance, passive smoking, recurrent middle ear infection, bacterial biolms, allergic rhinitis, gastroesopha­geal reux, and genetic predisposition.
• Acute symptoms are usually absent in OME, and conductive hearing loss is the main complaint in a symptomatic patient. Otoscopic ndings can show air-uid level, which is the most specic feature, Amber-colored TM, or retracted and dull TM. Tympanometry shows a at curve (type B).
• The use of topical nasal steroids can speed the clearance of the effusion and prevent recurrences.
• TT insertion is indicated in specic situ­ations like children with poor school performance, balance disturbance, or behavioral issues or those with docu­mented hearing loss.
• TT placement can cause some compli­cations: some are short-term like otor­rhea, premature extrusion, development of granulation tissue, and intrusion in the middle ear, but others are long-term like myringosclerosis, failure of sponta­neous tube extrusion, TM perforation, and development of cholesteatoma.

5.1 Introduction
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inammation of the middle ear and mas­toid which presents with otorrhea and tympanic membrane perforation (TM). Basic features are otorrhea, a sign of active disease, TM perfora­tion, and inammatory middle ear mucosa.
TM perforation Can Be
1. Central perforation: in which the annulus is preserved. TM perforation can be anterior, posterior, inferior, or subtotal. Historically, this presentation was called tubotympanic dis­ease. Safe ear is a new nomenclature for a mucosal disease without cholesteatomatous pathology [1] (Fig.5.1).
2. Marginal perforation: a posterior perforation with loss of the annulus or attic perforation with Pars Flaccida defect. Historically, it was

named atticoantral disease. Unsafe ear, a new nomenclature, is usually associated with cho­lesteatoma [1] (Fig.5.2).
5.2 Epidemiology
CSOM is more common in developing countries and less prevalent in developed countries where it is mostly related to tympanostomy tube insertion. Male and female are equally affected [2]. Acute otitis media is a major risk factor for the develop-

During otitis media, a large number of inam­matory cells and mucosa hyperplasia can lead to hypoxia. ET edema and obstruction can increase hypoxia. Hypoxia leads to overproduction of oxygen radicals, which result in cell damage. The cascade of events presents the following:
Inammation hypoxia edema of the
mucosa ulcerations reparative reac-
tion granulations polyps ossicular
lysis [3]

ment of CSOM.There is still enormous nancial burden associated to acute otitis media, CSOM, and sequelae.
5.3 Etiology
CSOM is a multifactorial disease that results from the host and environmental factors. Risk factors are the same as for acute otitis media. Figure5.3 shows specic factors for CSOM.
Associated Features to CSOM
1. Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction: Cleft pal­ate, Down’s syndrome, patulous ET.
2. Mucosa immune system disorders.
3. Systemic immune deciency like HIV and hypogammaglobulinemia.
4. Poor mastoid pneumatization.
Healing failure of TM perforation can lead to
CSOM.Many factors lie behind this failure:
1. Persistent infection in the middle ear.
2. ET obstruction.
3. Large size perforation.
4. Mucositis, granulation tissue formation, and polyps.
Bacteria endotoxins can stimulate macrophage to produce TNF-alpha and IL-1 mediators. Immune cells can also produce IL-1 and TNF­alpha. These mediators can damage the host cells and have the potential to enhance the chro­nicity of otitis media development. Also, IL-8 plays a role in the chronicity of CSOM [4]. Other cytokines such IL-6 and INF-gamma have been found in higher levels in the middle ear mucosa of CSOM [3, 5].
It is crucial to know that IgG and IgA are the most important immunoglobulins in the defense mechanism against mucosal infection (like in CSOM) due to their adherence to the bacterial wall, that is, coating [6]. However, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the main agent of CSOM, lacks effective coating, and that can explain why it is difcult to eradicate this microorganism from the middle ear [7].
5.5 Microbiology ofCSOM
1. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most com-
mon microorganism prevalent in CSOM.They
are resistant to macrolides, extended- spectrum
penicillin, and the rst and second-generation
cephalosporins, a condition that complicates
treatment plans, especially in children.
2. Staphylococcus aureus is the second most
common organism. Klebsiella and Proteus are
other microorganisms isolated in CSOM.
Polymicrobial infections are seen in 5–10% of
cases Fig.5.4.

Biolms formation is commonly seen in CSOM; they are microorganisms that adhere to each other and are embedded in a self-produced matrix that can act as a self-protector, hence its resistance to antibiotics.
Cases of superimposed fungal infections are encountered in excessive usage of antibiotic ear drops.
5.6 Histopathology ofCSOM
Changes observed in the mucosa of the middle ear in CSOM are:
Season
3. Increased number of ciliated cells, goblet cells, increased muco-ciliary clearance, and secretions.
4. Inammatory granulation tissue and oral polyp during the early stages of healing.
5. Fibrosis and tympanosclerosis in late stage which is a special form of the healing process.
5.7 Ossicular Chain Erosion
inCSOM (Fig.
Ossicular erosion is much more common in unsafe CSOM than in safe CSOM.
1. The long duration of the inammatory process is the most harmful factor for the ossicles [8].
2. Incudal necrosis is the most common ossicu­lar pathology seen [8].
3. The stapes lysis is uncommon in a safe ear [8].
4. The malleus is the most resilient middle ear ossicles. In cases of subtotal perforation, the malleus is medialized due to the unopposed action of tensor tympani [8].
5.5)
1. Chronic inammatory inltrates associated with mucosal edema.
2. Middle ear epithelium metaplasia to respira­tory type.
Note: TM perforation can lead to a decrease of the sound pressure difference between the exter­nal ear and middle ear, leading to hearing loss (HL). HL is dependent on the size of perforation,

not its location. Also, in the presence of a perfo­ration, HL varies inversely with the volume of the air in the middle ear and mastoid [9].
5.8 Tympanosclerosis inCSOM
Long-standing inammatory inltrate may end up with abnormal healing process leaving mostly tympanosclerosis which is a hyaline calcareous deposits found on the tympanic membrane (myringosclerosis) (Fig. 5.6) or the tympanic cavity, ossicular chain, ligaments, or the mastoid with a secondary conductive hearing loss (CHL) (Fig.5.7) [3].
5.9 Cholesterol Granuloma
The etiology of this entity is still unclear, but it is believed to arise from the same factors leading to CSOM.Negative middle ear pressure can lead to hemorrhage into the ears, the membrane of eryth­rocytes ruptures releasing the cholesterol inside the ears, and that will act as a nidus for crystal formation and subsequent inammatory reaction. This can explain the microscopic appearance of cholesterol granuloma as cholesterol crystals sur-
Fig. 5.6 Tympanosclerosis (TS) limited to the tympanic
membrane in the right ear
rounded by multinucleated giant cells. Inammation can lead to the growth of that lesion in size.
Cholesterol granuloma can occur in any part of a pneumatized temporal bone. However, the petrous apex is the most common location. It can be asymptomatic, but in some patients, it can cause mass effect manifested by hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and facial twitching. CT scan can demonstrate an isodense, smooth border mass that does not enhance with contrast. MRI can show a hyperintense mass in both T1 and T2, but it does not enhance with contrast due to its avascularity. In fact, it has a unique feature of hyperintensity on T1 due to its composition of protein, crystal, and hemorrhage, and this feature can distinguish it from cholesteatoma.
Treatment is based on its location and patients’ hearing status. Considering the fact that recur­rence of cholesterol granuloma after surgical excision is not uncommon, then conservative treatment is advised in asymptomatic patients, and they are followed by serial MRI and CT. Drainage and ventilation are the primary goals of surgical management (see Fig.5.8).

S. Mansour et al.
5.10.1 Otoscopy
1. TM perforation: can vary in size and location (central or marginal). Note: multiple TM per­forations associated with pale granulation tis­sue and facial palsy can indicate tuberculosis.
2. Status of the mucosa of the middle ear: Swollen and edematous. Aural polyps may be present.
3. Ossicular status: the most common abnor- mality is the disruption of the incudostapedial joint, necrosis of incus long process, and medialization and shortening of the handle of malleus.
4. Secondary otitis externa.
5. ET function assessment through nasal mucosa evaluation is highly valuable for the diagnosis and prognosis.
5.10.2 Audiology
Hearing assessment by using 512-tuning fork and audiogram. Depending on the mucosal edema and granulation tissue, TM perforation can lead to CHL between 5 and 40dB.CSOM can cause sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to the effect of toxins and inammatory mediators on the inner ear hair cells, mostly on the basal turn. This explains why CSOM patients may be asso­ciated with high-frequency SNHL [10].
5.11 Imaging Studies
For patients with CSOM, high-resolution tempo­ral bone CT scan may provide additional infor­mation, especially when clinical ndings are in favor of a safe ear but with complex clinical pre­sentations as in:
• A long-standing disease with recurrent epi­sodes of active inammation.
• Cases unresponsive to medical treatment.
• Suspicion of complications.
Preoperative clinico-radiological correlations
may orient the surgical strategy.
1. When TM perforation is central and CT shows that AER, Attic and Antrum (AAA spaces) are well aerated: simple condition—safe ear.
2. When TM perforation is central, but CT shows extended condensations of AAA spaces or condensation of the AER alone, with the scu­tum, tegmen, cog, and other bony frontiers of the cavity are intact (image of lysis of the long process of the incus could be associated): this is a presentation of the extensive inamma­tory process—safe ear [3] Fig.5.9
3. When TM perforation (not typically central) with condensation images in the ME cavity is associated to any sign of bony lesion (scutum, tegmen, cog, and bony limits of the mastoid

In this context, any lyses of the ossicular chain, incus, and especially of malleus or stapes are in favor of such unsafe ear [3].
5.12 Complications andSequelae
Nowadays, complications of CSOM are decreas­ing because of early and better control of the infectious process; nevertheless, they remain of serious concern since they still are life- threatening in unfavorable socioeconomic regions [3] (see Chap. 6).
Complications are due to hematogenic or con­tiguous spread of the infection [3] and could be:
1. Intratemporal: labyrinthine stula, VII
palsy, Mastoid abscess, petrositis, and
labyrinthitis.
2. Extratemporal:
(a) Intracranial such lateral sinus thrombo-
phlebitis, meningitis, and intracerebral access.
(b) Extracranial such as subperiosteal abscess
or Bezold’s.
Axial CT showing complete condensation of the AER with bone lysis of the anterior bony border (empty arrow) and absence of the cog (should be seen between the black arrows). These are signs in favor of cholesteatoma: unsafe ear
5.13 Treatment ofCSOM
5.13.1 Medical Treatment
The main goal of medical treatment is to obtain dry ear as early as possible before surgical treat­ment. Medical treatment depends on the follow­ing steps:
1. Aural toilet: regular in-ofce toilet clearance and placement of ear wick in case of edema­tous external skin canal.
2. Ototopical ear drops: Including: (a) Quinolones: they have a low incidence of
ototoxicity and vestibulotoxicity.
(b) Aminoglycosides: they have signicant
potential of inducing ototoxicity and ves­tibulotoxicity despite the protective edematous mucosa of the round window membrane in CSOM.
(c) Neomycin and polymyxin B: fewer than
20% of gram-negative remain sensitive to neomycin, while polymyxin B is still effective.
3. Control of granulation tissue: as these tissues can block the antibiotics from reaching the infected site. Steroid may help in the resolu­tion of the granulation tissues.
