Abstract :

AIM : To study and compare the established patterns of pharyngeal end of Eustachian tube orifice through 30o nasal endoscopy in i) Normal ear and ii) Ear with middle ear pathologies i.e., Secretory otitis media, Adhesive otitis media, Chronic suppurative otitis media. METHODOLOGY: The materials for the present study of Eustachian tube dysfunction in middle ear pathologies and normal ear for op procedure in Government MGMGH trichy during the period September 2017 to August 2018 are as follows, a) Middle ear pathologies : (50 cases) 1. Chronic suppurative otitis media 2. Adhesive otitis media and 3. Secretory otitis media scan b) Normal ear: (10 cases) After complete ear, nose, mouth examination. Study was conducted. RESULTS (CONCLUSION): The study conducted definitely proves correlation between Eustachian tube dysfunction and middle ear pathologies like secretory otitis media, adhesive otitis media and chronic suppurative otitis media. – Of these CSOM is the commonest – Eustachian tube dysfunction is mainly due to compromised tubal dilatation – With availability of nasal endoscope Eustachian tube function can be assessed as OP procedure, which will be helpful pre operative assessment of middle ear surgery outcome – This study more or less with study of Dennis Spoe MDFACS except for that Compromised Tubal dilation is common than Tubal edema. – Infuture minimally invasive intra luminal Eustachian tube surgery may be helpful in improving outcome of middle ear surgeries, particularly for graft take up. – These are infact early days for this study of Eustachian tube dysfunction which need further modification and development. So innovative surgery may emerge ultimately, so middle ear pathologies can be better dealt with.
