Abstract

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is still a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries. Eustachian tube dysfunction is one of the factors that influence the occurrence of CSOM. The pathogenesis of acute and chronic otitis media is initiated by negative pressure in the middle ear. One theory of the event of CSOM is the continuum theory. The eustachian tube as one of the factors that influence the occurrence of CSOM has been proven from various studies comparing CSOM patients and the average population and CSOM with and without cholesteatoma. With the advanced technology, CT scan helps diagnose pathological conditions in the ear as a diagnostic tool and evaluation modality. CT scan imaging with a multiplanar reconstruction technique can provide a clear image of the anatomical shape of the Eustachian tube. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the angle and length of the Eustachian tube in the ear with CSOM and the contralateral ear's angle and length. Method: An analytic study with a cross-sectional design involving 30 samples of CSOM patients with the contralateral ear. The measurement of the angle and length of the Eustachian tube using the multiplanar HRCT temporal reconstruction technique. Result: Statistical analysis with paired t-test showed that the Eustachian tube angle was significantly more horizontal in the CSOM ear than the contralateral ear (p<0.05). Eustachian tube length was shorter in CSOM than contralateral (p<0.05). Conclusion: The angle of the eustachian tube in the CSOM ear is smaller (more horizontal) and shorter than the contralateral ear.

Abstract

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammation involving the middle ear space and it became a burden especially in developing countries. Mastoidectomy remains the main treatment in CSOM with cholesteatoma. Recurrent cholesteatoma and suppurating process indicated the need of revision mastoidectomy. Purpose: Until now, study about the mechanism of recurrent cholesteatoma and its management still need further research. Case report:  This paper reports a case of chronic suppurative otitis media with recurrent cholesteatoma which underwent revision mastoidectomy. Clinical Question : What are the factors associated with the occurrence of recurrent cholesteatoma and how to managed it? Methods: Evidence base literature study about chronic suppurative otitis media with recurrent cholesteatoma and surgery treatment was performed through PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar database. Results: Recurrent cholesteatoma that occurred after mastoidectomy can be caused by residue of the cholesteatoma itself or new forming of retraction pocket. Revision mastoidectomy is necessary to evacuated the cholesteatoma and provide good drainage to the mastoid. Conclusion: Routine follow up after mastoidectomy is an important thing to help prevent recurrence of CSOM especially with cholesteatoma.
