Chronic suppurative otitis media Treatment in India

Chronic suppurative otitis media:

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the middle ear cleft that includes the tympanic membrane (eardrum), ossicles (middle ear bones responsible for hearing) and the mastoid bone (the aerated bone behind the ear). In simple terms, it can be categorized into two chief types: The mucosal variant involving only eardrum and the squamous variant involving the mastoid bone with or without cholesteatoma.

Signs and symptoms of chronic otitis media:

Ear discharge, recurrent or persistent for more than 12 weeks. The discharge can be profuse or scanty, foul-smelling or odorless, thick or thin, blood-stained or greenish discolored.
Hearing loss in the affected ear. It can be mild/moderate or severe/profound.
Such symptoms can extend over months or years in affected ear/s.

Signs and symptoms of impending complications in chronic ear disease:

• Recent onset vertigo or imbalance.
• Severe/progressive earache or headache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Weakness or asymmetry of the face on the affected side.
• Pain or swelling behind the ear, particularly in children.
• Sudden progression of hearing loss/total deafness.
• Fever with headache and neck stiffness/irritability
• Altered consciousness/drowsiness

The above signs and symptoms warrant urgent referral to the ENT surgeon for further management.

Management of Chronic Ear Disease:

The management of chronic ear disease is nearly always surgical except in a very elderly or debilitated population who are poor surgical candidates.

Tympanoplasty:

Tympanoplasty essentially means repair and reconstruction of the perforated or diseased eardrum with or without reconstruction of middle ear hearing/ossicular mechanism. The procedure involves grafting the perforated eardrum using autologous graft tissue (cartilage/fascia).
Repair of diseased ossicles (ear bones) can be done in the same sitting using middle ear implants.

Mastoidectomy:

Mastoidectomy entails the removal of disease from the mastoid bone by drilling the diseased body cells of this bone behind the ear. Mastoidectomy can be of two essential types namely:

Cortical mastoidectomy:

This removes diseased mastoid cells in bone to reduce infective load and is a limited procedure and maintains the normal ear anatomy.

Radical or modified radical mastoidectomy:

This is an extensive procedure needing removal and exteriorization of the entire middle ear and mastoid system thereby removing extensive disease and converting the entire region into a common cavity approached post-operatively through a widened external ear meatus. The scope, hospital stay and post-operative recovery is different for all these procedures.

Ossiculoplasty:

Reconstruction of middle ear ossicles/bones using titanium implants

Bone anchored hearing implants:

For patients with open cavities or radical mastoidectomies on both sides.

Active middle ear implants (Vibrant Soundbridge):

For patients with mixed hearing loss with both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss components and when patients are not comfortable wearing hearing aids.

Cochlear implants:

To correct severe to profound hearing loss not amenable to any other non-surgical or surgical modality.
