Abstract:
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is an inflammation of the middle ear that is clinically characterized by fever, earache ,ear discharge and hearing loss. Clinical examination using an otoscope or otoendoscope is the primary method of diagnosis. In our study, we examined the role of high resolution computed tomography in cases of chronic suppurative otitis media and determining the extent and severity of various other pathological conditions occurring in the temporal bone . Materials and Methods: Current study was a prospective crosssectional study was conducted in Maharajah’s Institute of Medical Sciences, Nellimarla,from January 2021 to May 2022. 50 patients were included who were clinically diagnosed with a chronic middle ear infection and who were referred to Department of Radio-diagnosis and Imaging for an HRCT scan of temporal bone. Results :In our study, a total number of 50 patients were involved.The Youngest patient was aged 8 years and oldest patient was of 58 years age. Majority of patients were aged between 21-30 years (30%) followed by in 11-20 years(27%) age group. In our study involvement of the mastoid air cell system and middle ear was found as follows: protympanum (22.00%); meso-tympanum (28.40%); posterior tympanum (31.00%); epitympanum (58.00%); hypotympanum (26.50%; aditus (53.93%); antrum (41.80%); mastoid air cells (57.90%). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that HRCT imaging is the gold standard for CSOM and in associated complications such as detecting early cholestatoma
