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 benet
in OME [9].
2. Surgical treatment:
The benet 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

K., and Haider H. (2018). Middle ear disease)
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 36months, then TM perforation can occur.
quadrant of TM; posterior positioning of TT is
associated with earlier extrusion.
4.7.1 Indication ofTT 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 30dB.
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
Teon Reuter Bobbin. They last between 6
and 24months.
2. Long-term tubes: Modied Goode T-tubes,
buttery, Triune, and Paparella II.These tubes
can last for years (Fig.4.7).
4.7.3 Role ofAdenoidectomy
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.

4.7.4 The Complications ofTT (See
Table4.2)
Short-Term Complications
1. Otorrhea: it is the most common complica-
tion. In cases of uncomplicated otorrhea, then
topical ear drops can be used.
2. Occlusion of the tube.
3. Premature extrusion.
4. Development of granulation tissue.
5. Intrusion in the middle ear (Fig.4.8).

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 inammatory 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
biolms, allergic rhinitis, gastroesophageal reux, 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 specic
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 specic 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 inammation 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 inammatory 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 inammatory 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:
• Inammation → 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.
Figure5.3 shows specic 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 deciency 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
difcult to eradicate this microorganism from the
middle ear [7].
5.5 Microbiology ofCSOM
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.

Biolms 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 ofCSOM
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. Inammatory 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
inCSOM (Fig.
Ossicular erosion is much more common in
unsafe CSOM than in safe CSOM.
1. The long duration of the inammatory 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 inammatory inltrates 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,

ular process of the incus with a residual brous band

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 inCSOM
Long-standing inammatory inltrate 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 inammatory 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.
Inammation 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).

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 40dB.CSOM can cause
sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to the
effect of toxins and inammatory 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 inammation.
• 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 inammatory 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

ear—cholesteatoma [3] (Fig.5.10).
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 andSequelae
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 ofCSOM
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-ofce 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 signicant
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.
