ACUTE AND
CHRONIC OTITIS
MEDIA
BY RUTH
ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA
 It is an acute infection of the middle ear lasting less than six weeks.
Causes
 Streptococcus pneumoniae
 Haemophilus influenza
 Moraxella catarrhalis
 These organisms reach the middle ear after eustachian tube dysfunction caused
by
obstruction related to URTI
Eustachian tube dysfunction due to inflammation of surrounding
structures e.g. sinusitis, adenoid hypertrophy
Obstruction due to allergic reactions
Tympanic membrane perforation
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
 Otalgia relieved by perforation which can either be spontaneous or therapeutic.
 Drainage from the ear
 Fever
 Conductive hearing loss
 Otoscopic examination- reveals a normal external auditory canal. The tympanic
membrane is erythematous and often bulging.
Risk factors
 Age i.e. less than one year
 Chronic upper respiratory tract infections
 Medical conditions that predispose to ear infections e.g. Downs syndrome, cleft palate.
 Chronic exposure to second hand cigarette smoke
 Increased exposure to day care & immune suppresion
MANAGEMENT
 Early and appropriate broad spectrum antibiotics therapy  amoxicillin,augumentin ,
clindamycin erythromycin for 10 days.
 Analgesics for pain.
 If drainage occurs give antibiotic otic preparation.
 Myringotomy or tympanotomy  incision of the tympanic membrane. It is done to
relieve pressure and to drain serous or purulent fluid from the middle ear thus relieving
pain.
 It is done under local anesthesia and microscope guidance.
 Drainage can be analysed for culture and sensitivity..
 If AOM recurs a ventilating tube or pressure equalizing tube is inserted to replace the
eustachian tube. It is retained for 6  18 months.
CHRONIC OTITIS MEDIA/ CHRONIC
SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA
 It is repeated episodes of acute otitis media causing irreversible tissue damage and persistent tympanic
membrane perforation.
 Chronic infections of the middle ear damages the tympanic membrane, destroys the ossicles and may
sometimes involve the mastoid.
Clinical manifestations:
 Varying degrees of hearing loss.
 Persistent or intermittent foul smelling otorrhea
 Pain  in case of acute mastoiditis. Postauricular area is tender and may be edematous and erythrematous.
 Nausea
 Dizziness
 Tympanic membrane perforation
 Facial palsy
 Otoscopy: may show perforation
 Cholesteatoma can be identified as a white mass behind
the tympanic membrane or coming to the external canal
through a perforation.
Causes:
 Staphylococcus aureus
 Streptococcus
 Proteus
 Pseudomonas
 E.coli
DIAGNOSIS
1. History and Physical exam
2. Otoscopy  shows a perforated T.M
3. Culture of drainage
4. Mastoid xray to rule out mastoiditis
5. Sinus xray
6. MRI or CT scan temporal lobe to check for bone destruction secondary to cholesteatoma.
Complications:
 Cholesteatoma
 Hearing loss
 Facial paralysis
 Lateral sinus thrombosis
 Subdural abcess
 Mastoiditis
 Labyrinthitis
Medical management:
 Suctioning the ear under otoscopic guidance.
 Dry the ear by wicking  roll a piece of clean absorbent cloth into a wick and insert into
the ear. Leave for 1  2 minutes, remove and replace with another wick. Repeat until
the wick is dry.
 Antibiotic drops or powder for purulent discharge. CAF, systemic antibiotics only in
acute infections
Surgical management:
1. Tympanoplasty  surgical reconstruction of the tympanic membrane. It aims at
establishing middle ear function by closing the perforation, preventing infection and
improving hearing
2. Ossiculoplasty  surgical reconstruction of the middle ear bones to restore hearing.
Ossicles are reconnected using prosthesis made of stainless steel thus
reestablishing the sound conduction mechanism.
3. Mastoidectomy  it aims at removing cholesteatoma and creating a dry /non
infected ear.It is done through a postauricular incision. Infection is eliminated by
removing mastoid air cells. There is risk of injury to the facial nerve.
