¸ñÀû: To evaluate multiple clinical complications and management of chronic
suppurative otitis media ¹æ¹ý:: This study was conducted at Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre
Karachi Pakistan from June 2020 to June 2021.
Methodology All patients of chronic suppurative otitis media with
intra or extra cranial complications who were admitted to the ENT
Department were included in this study. Clinical data, related
complications, care, and follow-up were all analyzed. In all patients,
pure tone audiometry was used to assess their hearing. Every patient
had a high-resolution computer tomography (HRCT) temporal bone scan
and all other relevant investigations including aural pus swab for
culture and sensitivity done . Every patient with CSOM-related
intracranial problems had a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain
scan.
°á°ú:: During the trial of 280 individuals, 42 patients with CSOM
complications were observed. A total of 19 of them had intracranial
complications, while 23 had extra cranial complications. The youngest
patient was five years old, while the oldest was 58 years. The majority
of the cases were observed in 11 to 20 years age groups. Only 6 of the
42 individuals had bilateral CSOM, whereas the remaining 36 had
unilateral CSOM. °á·Ð:CSOM-related problems are still widespread, despite the availability
of broad spectrum antibiotics. Patients should be given higher doses
of intravenous antibiotics (that breach the blood-brain barrier)
followed by mastoid surgery. Early detection of concomitant
intracranial complications using HRCT and MRI and adequate antibiotic
treatment, abscess drainage, and mastoid surgery as soon as possible
are all essential to prevent mortality from CSOM complications |
