Background And Objectives: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) with or without cholesteatoma is a frequent chronic inflammatory condition in children, which may lead to severe hearing loss that affects speech development. Treatment of recurrent CSOM associated with unserviceable hearing requires a specialized approach with regard to disease eradication and hearing rehabilitation. In this study, we investigated the advantages of subtotal petrosectomy (SP) combined with cochlear implantation (CI) in children with CSOM associated with unserviceable hearing and describe our experience with regard to the efficacy of this method, together with a literature review.
Subjects And Methods: SP with sequential or simultaneous CI was performed in three children (four ears), and postoperative audiometric data were recorded.
Results: The study included two male and one female patient. Mean age at the time of SP was 10.75 years (7-13 years). Sequential implantation was performed in three ears. Facial nerve palsy occurred after SP in one patient. The latest word recognition scores of Cases 1, 2, and 3 were 80% (at 60 dB), 75% (at 60 dB), and 70% (at 50 dB) and 90% (at 50 dB), respectively.
Conclusions: SP with CI may be safe and reliable in children with CSOM associated with unserviceable hearing.

Role of Non-Echo-Planar Diffusion Weighted MRI Imaging (DWI MRI) in Unsafe Chronic Otitis Media (CSOM): A Clinical Study at a Tertiary Care Center in Uttarakhand.

In course of evaluation of cholesteatoma, High resolution Computerized Tomography provides significant information regarding the extent of disease and associated bony erosion, if any but lags behind in differentiating soft tissue densities often associated with the disease. For this reason, Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging has come to assume a significant role in the differential diagnosis of various soft tissue lesions found in chronic suppurative otitis media including cholesteatoma. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of DWI Non-ECHO planar MRI in imaging of middle ear along with HRCT Scan of temporal bone in diagnosis of unsafe (squamous) CSOM.

Objective: Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is a chronic eosinophilic inflammatory disease linked to bronchial asthma and nasal polyps. EOM is often accompanied by tympanic membrane perforation. Although the primary treatment, steroid therapy, is generally effective, its efficacy may be limited in advanced cases, particularly those involving significant thickening of the middle ear mucosa.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed bacterial samples from patients over 17 years using genetic methods to determine the strains' diversity and virulence.
- * The findings revealed that the strains from refractory cases were mostly of sequence type 235 (ST235), which is highly virulent and resistant to antibiotics, suggesting the need for better management and patient education.

Background Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is the inflammation of the middle ear mucosa for more than two weeks, resulting in ear discharge. It is associated with hearing loss and the presence of a perforation in the tympanic membrane. Tympanoplasty is performed to place a graft and clear the disease in the middle ear.

The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome has been linked to several inflammatory and autoinflammatory diseases. Despite cases of potential hearing improvement in immune-mediated diseases, direct evidence of the efficacy of targeting this mechanism in the inner ear is still lacking. Previously, we discovered that macrophages are associated with Sensorineural Hearing loss (SNHL) in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), the leading cause of this permanent hearing loss in the developing world and incurring costs of $4 to $11 billion dollars in the United States.
