ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the incidence and risk factors of otologic disorders in patients with Turner syndrome (TS), so as to provide management strategies for ear health. Methods: This study is a prospective study based on questionnaires and a cross-sectional study. The TS patients who visited our hospital from 2010 January to 2021 March were included (A total of 71 patients with TS were included in this study. the age of TS diagnosed was 3- to 11-year-old, age of visiting ENT department was 4- to 27-year-old) and the incidence of otologic diseases in different age groups was investigated by questionnaires. The cross-sectional study included ear morphology and auditory function assessment, and further analysis of the risk factors that related to ear disease. Prism was used for data analysis. Results: The investigation found that the incidence of acute otitis media in patients aged 3-6 and 7-12 years was higher than that of patients over 12 years old, which was 33.8%(24/71), 42.9%(30/70)and 23.5%(8/34), respectively; 21.1% (15/71) of patients were recurrent acute otitis media in patients aged 3-6 years, and about 46.6% (7/15)of them persisted beyond 6-year. The prevalence of otitis media with effusion in the three groups was 32.4%(23/71), 34.3%(24/70)and 38.2%(13/34), respectively; the recurrence rate of tympanocentesis was 100%(7/7), 42.9%(3/7)and 50.0%(1/2), which was significantly higher than that of grommet insertion. For age groups of 3-6 and 7-12 years, the prevalence of acute otitis media and secretory otitis media was lower in the X chromosome structure abnormal patients; while for patients older than 12 years, otitis media with effusion was the highest prevalence in Y-chromosome-containing karyotypes. In addition, the prevalence of acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion in patients with other system diseases were increased significantly. A cross-sectional study found that 7.0% (5/71)of the lower auricular, 4.2% (3/71)of the external auditory canal narrow, and 38.0% (27/71)of the tympanic membrane abnormality. 35.2%(25/71) had abnormal hearing, including 17 cases of conductive deafness, 6 cases of sensorineural hearing loss, and 2 cases of mixed deafness. The rest of the patients had normal hearing, but 6 of them had abnormalities in otoacoustic emission. Eustachian tube function assessment found that the eustachian tube dysfunction accounted for 38%(27/71). Hearing loss and abnormal Eustachian tube function were not significantly related to karyotype(Chi-square 2.83 and 2.84,P value 0.418 and 0.417), but significantly related to other system diseases(Chi-square 13.43 and 7.53,P value<0.001). Conclusions: The incidence of TS-related otitis media and auditory dysfunction is significantly higher than that of the general population. It not only occurs in preschool girls, but also persists or develops after school age. Accompanied by other system diseases are risk factors for ear diseases. Clinicians should raise their awareness of TS-related ear diseases and incorporate ear health monitoring into routine diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the incidence of otorrhea in the postoperative period of patients submitted to tympanotomy to place ventilation tube, and who did not protect the ear when exposed to water. Methods Open, randomized-controlled trial. Eighty patients submitted to unilateral or bilateral ear grommet tympanostomy were included and divided into two groups: Auricular Protection and Non-Protection to water during bathing and activities in water. Results In the first postoperative month, the Non-Protection Group presented a significant increase in the number of patients with otorrhea and in the incidence. Four patients of the Protection Group (11%) presented at least one episode of otorrhea in this period, representing an incidence of 0.11 (standard deviation ±0.32) episode/month, whereas in the Non-Protection Group there were 12 episodes (33%; p=0.045) and incidence of 0.33 (±0.48; p=0.02). Between the 2nd and the 13th postoperative months, there was no difference between groups. Seven patients in the Protection Group (20%) had at least one episode of otorrhea, representing an incidence of 0.04 (±0.09) episodes/month, while in the Non-Protection Group there were seven episodes (22%; p=0.8) and incidence of 0.05 (±0.1; p=0.8). Conclusion Patients who underwent ear protection when exposed to water had a lower incidence of otorrhea in the first postoperative month than those who did not undergo protection. From the second month, there was no difference between groups.


RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a incidência de otorreia no período pós-operatório em pacientes submetidos à timpanotomia para colocação de tubo de ventilação e que não realizaram proteção auricular quando expostos à água. Métodos Ensaio clínico controlado, aberto e randomizado. Foram incluídos 80 pacientes submetidos à timpanotomia para colocação de tubo de ventilação unilateral ou bilateral, divididos em dois grupos: Grupo Proteção e Grupo Não Proteção auricular da água durante o banho e as atividades aquáticas. Resultados No primeiro mês pós-operatório, o Grupo Não Proteção apresentou aumento significativo tanto no número de pacientes com otorreia quanto na incidência. Quatro pacientes do Grupo Proteção (11%) apresentaram ao menos um episódio de otorreia neste período, representando incidência de 0,11 (desvio padrão ±0,32) episódio/mês, enquanto no Grupo Não Proteção ocorreram 12 episódios (33%; p=0,045) e incidência de 0,33 (±0,48; p=0,02). Entre o 2º e o 13º meses pós-operatórios, não houve diferença entre os grupos. Sete pacientes do Grupo Proteção (20%) apresentaram ao menos um episódio de otorreia, representando incidência de 0,04 (±0,09) episódios/mês, enquanto no Grupo Não Proteção foram registrados sete episódios (22%; p=0,8) e incidência de 0,05 (±0,1; p=0,8). Conclusão Pacientes que realizaram a proteção auricular quando expostos à água apresentaram menor incidência de otorreia no primeiro mês pós-operatório do que aqueles que não a realizaram. A partir do segundo mês, não houve diferença entre os grupos.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Myringotomy for tube insertion is the most common otologic surgery. Otorrhea is a frequent complication of this procedure and, to prevent it, most surgeons strongly recommend avoiding contact with water as this is thought to adversely impact on post-operative quality of life. Objective To understand the benefit of this recommendation. Methods Observational study - retrospective cohort study comparing the incidence of post-operative otorrhea and its impact on patients' quality of life, in two groups of patients comprising children under 10 years of age who underwent bilateral myringotomy and tube placement for chronic otitis media with effusion between May 2011 and May 2012. One group received water protection care after surgery, the other did not. Data was collected through telephonic interview, after one year of follow up (one year after the procedure). Water exposure without protection was considered the exposure event. Incidence of otorrhea and perceived impact on quality of life were the outcome measures. Results were compared after logistic regression. Results We included 143 children: 116 were not exposed to water without protection and 27 were exposed. In the not exposed group 36.2% had at least one episode of otorrhea, compared to 40.0% of the exposed group. Odds ratio for otorrhea on exposed was 1.21 (95% CI 0.51-2.85, p = 0.6). Negative impact on quality of life was reported by parents of 48.2% on the not exposed children, compared to 40.7% on the exposed group. This difference was not significant (p = 0.5). Conclusion We found that recommending water protection did not have beneficial effect on the incidence of otorrhea after myringotomy with tubes on chronic otitis media with effusion. However, such measures did not appear to have a negative impact on quality of life. This is a populational observational study with few cases (143 cases); these final statements would be better stated by a very large populational study with another large control group.


Resumo Introdução A miringotomia para inserção de tubo de ventilação é a cirurgia otológica mais comum. Otorreia é uma complicação frequente deste procedimento e, para evita-la, a maioria dos cirurgiões recomenda evitar o contato com a água, pois acredita-se que isso possa afetar negativamente a qualidade de vida pós-operatória. Objetivo Verificar o benefício dessa recomendação. Método Estudo observacional - estudo de coorte retrospectivo, comparando a incidência de otorreia pós-operatória e seu impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes, em dois grupos de pacientes com crianças menores de 10 anos submetidas à miringotomia bilateral e colocação de tubo de ventilação para o tratamento de otite média crônica com efusão, entre maio de 2011 e maio de 2012. Um grupo recebeu cuidados de proteção contra a água após a cirurgia, o outro não. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevista telefônica, após um ano de seguimento (um ano após o procedimento). A exposição à água sem proteção foi considerada o evento de exposição. A incidência de otorreia e o impacto percebido na qualidade de vida foram as medidas de resultado. Os resultados foram comparados após a regressão logística. Resultados Incluímos 143 crianças: 116 não foram expostas à água sem proteção e 27 foram expostas. No grupo não exposto, 36,2% apresentaram pelo menos um episódio de otorreia, em comparação com 40,0% do grupo exposto. A razão de chances (odds ratio) para otorreia no grupo exposto foi de 1,21 (IC 95%: 0,51-2,85, p = 0,6). O impacto negativo na qualidade de vida foi relatado pelos pais de 48,2% nas crianças não expostas, em comparação com 40,7% no grupo exposto. Essa diferença não foi significante (p = 0,5). Conclusão Não verificamos um efeito benéfico sobre a incidência de otorreia ao recomendar a proteção contra a água após colocação de tubos de ventilação para otite média com efusão. Entretanto, tais medidas não parecem ter tido um impacto negativo na qualidade de vida.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La obstrucción del lumen de las colleras es un evento infrecuente, pero que anula la efectividad del dispositivo en la ventilación del oído medio. Existen múltiples opciones de tratamiento tópico para esta situación clínica, sin embargo, los reportes en la literatura al respecto presentan resultados contradictorios. Objetivos: Analizar la efectividad de distintos tratamientos tópicos para destapar una collera ocluida con coágulo de sangre. Material y método: Modelo experimental ex vivo, 184 tubos de ventilación obstruidos con coágulo de sangre. Tratamiento tópico, 8 grupos experimentales (agua oxigenada 3 por ciento, ácido acético 5 por ciento, ciprofloxacino 0,3 por ciento, vinagre de mesa, heparina, mezcla de H2O2/acetato 1:1, suero fisiológico 0.9 por ciento) y 2 grupos control (sin tratamiento). Revisión de permeabilidad de lumen de colleras a los 3, 7 y 10 días. Resultados: El agua oxigenada (H2O2) resulta ser el tratamiento más efectivo (88 por ciento y 92 por ciento de efectividad a los 7 y 10 días). Ciprofloxacino, vinagre de mesa, suero fisiológico y heparina son inefectivos, sin diferencias significativas con grupo control. Ciprofloxacino y suero fisiológico sedimentan más, e incluso tapan colleras previamente permeables. Conclusiones: H2O2 es un tratamiento seguro, efectivo y económico para destapar colleras obstruidas con coágulos de sangre.


Introduction: Blocked tympanostomy tubes (TT) are an uncommon event, but avoids the effectiveness of this device in middle ear ventilation. Many topical treatment options are available for this clinical situation, however, reports in literature show conflicting results. Aim: Analyze the effectiveness of various topical treatments to open blood clot blocked TT. Material and Method: Ex vivo experimental model. 184 blood clot blocked TT. Topical treatment, 8 experimental groups (3 percent hydrogen peroxide, 5 percent acetic acid, 0,3 percent ciprofloxacin, vinegar, heparin, mixture 1:1 H2O2/acetate, 0.9 percent saline) and 2 control group (no treatment). Review of tube permeability at 3, 7 and 10 days of treatment. Results: H2O2 is the most effective treatment (88 percent & 92 percent effectiveness at 7 & 10 days). Ciprofloxacin, vinegar, saline and heparin are ineffective, with no statistical differences with control group. Ciprofloxacin and saline even blocked previously opened TT. Conclusions: H2O2 is a safe, effective and economic treatment to clear blood clot blocked TT.

ABSTRACT

A inserção de tubos de ventilação (TV) é um dos procedimentos mais comuns em otorrinolaringologia. Otorréia, timpanoesclerose, retração, perfuração e colesteatoma após a colocação de tubos de ventilação são complicações citadas na literatura. OBJETIVOS: Determinar o tipo e a incidência de seqüelas/complicações de TV em crianças com otite média recorrente e otite média com efusão crônica que foram submetidas a miringotomia com colocação de TV. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Estudo de coorte, longitudinal prospectivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Setenta e cinco crianças (150 orelhas) entre 11 meses e 10 anos de idade foram monitoradas regularmente durante até 38 meses após a colocação de TV. RESULTADOS: Incidência de seqüelas/complicações: otorréia - 47,3 por cento das orelhas; perfuração - 2,1 por cento; retração do tímpano - 39,7 por cento; timpanoesclerose - 23,3 por cento. Tempo médio de permanência do TV: 12,13 meses. Idade média na primeira cirurgia de quem não foi re-operado = 35,9 meses e idade média na primeira cirurgia de quem sofreu re-inserção = 25,6 meses (P=0,04). O TV permaneceu mais tempo nas orelhas com mais episódios de otorréia (P=0,01). A colocação de TV com adenoidectomia associou-se a uma freqüência menor de otorréias (P=0,02). CONCLUSÕES: Otorréia foi a complicação de colocação de TV mais incidente. A colocação de TV com adenoidectomia associou-se a um menor número de otorréias. O TV permaneceu mais tempo nas orelhas com maior freqüência de otorréias. Pouca idade na ocasião da primeira colocação de TV está associada a uma incidência maior de re-inserção de TV. Um em cada seis pacientes provavelmente necessitará uma segunda inserção de TV.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic polymyxin B sulfate neomycin sulfate-hydrocortisone drops in decreasing the incidence of post tympanostomy otorrhea, a randomized controlled study from ENT department at Al-Zahraa University Hospital. Ninty-nine patients undergoing tympanostomy tube placement [including those undergoing tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, or both] were randomized into three groups. Patients in group [I] received no antibiotic drops: group [2], received a single dose intra-operatively, and group [3], received an intraoperative dose followed by a 5-day course. A statistically significant decrease was observed in the incidence of post tympanostomyotorrhea between the control [GI] [16.4%] and treatment groups [G2, 8.3%, G3, 8.1%] [P=.01]. A single dose of antibiotics ear drops was effective when patients with middle ears were dry or had serous effusions. A 5- day course was indicated for those patients whose ears had either mucoid or mucopurulent or purulent contents. Thus, from this randomized controlled study, we conclude that antibiotic ear drops are indicated in all patients. A single dose is as effective as a 5-day course but our data support a longer course in certain subgroups

ABSTRACT

The otitis media with effusion of the child is a frequent affection, the evolution of which is spontaneously regressive in most cases. The treatment must be hiearchised: - medical at first, surgical [D.T.T. with adenoidectomy] in case of failure, with well precised indications, Its purpose is the re-establishment of the airing of the middle ear, and the amelioration of eustachian tube, avoiding thus, the evolution towards anatomic and functional complications

ABSTRACT

El trabajo analiza las indicaciones y las limitantes terapéuticas de tres procedimientos quirúrgicos comunes en la infancia, la aplicación de tubos de ventilalción timpánica, la adenoidectomía, y la amigdalectomía. Analiza la posibilidad de que se practiquen por razones no médicas y concluye estableciendo las indicaciones terapéuticas en cada procedimiento. Considera que no es probable que ninguna de esas cirugías se practiquen por presiones de la familia ni por conceptos rituales. Las veces que son innecesarias es simplemente por mala indicación, y el responsable es el médico
