RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Middle ear barotrauma is a damage of the ear resulting from the pressure difference between the middle ear and the atmospheric environment. We investigated the effects of chewing gum and administering the systemic decongestant in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. MATERIALS AND METHOD: We investigated the cases of the middle ear barotrauma which came from hyperbaric oxygen therapy for finger replantation. We studied 81 patients without E-tube dysfunction. They were divided into three groups: the non-treated patients, the patients chewing gums and receiving high-pressure treatment, and the patients receiving the systemic decongestant. We investigated the patients for symptoms, otoscopic findings, tympanometry, and PTA. Otoscopic findings were classified by modified Teed classification. RESULTS: In the first group, 36 of 60 (60%) ears had otologic symptoms, 37 of 60 (62%) ears were above the grade 1, 31 of 60 (52%) ears were B or C type in tympanometry and 20 of 60 (33%) ears were above 20dB in AB gap (air-bone gap). In the second group, 23 of 60 (38%) ears had the otologic symptom, 26 of 60 (43%) ears were above the grade 1, 19 of 60 (32%) ears were the B or C type and 10 of 60 (17%) ears were above 20dB in AB gap. In the third group, 18 of 42 (43%) ears had the otologic symptoms, 19 of 42 (45%) ears were above the grade 1, 15 of 42 (36%) ears were the B or C type and 7 of 42 (17%) ears were above 20dB in the AB gap. CONCLUSION: The second group was better than the first group with regard to otologic symptom, otoscopic findings, tympanometry, PTA, and showed statistical significance. On the other hand, the third group was effective but did not show statistical significance.

RESUMO

Tympanic membrane perforations are frequently encountered diseases and can be treated with several different methods, induding tympanoplasty with tympanic membrane grafting which requires more profound techniques and clinical care. A fat graft myringoplasty is a cost-effective techniquc managing small tympanic membrane perforations and is used when challenged by a myringoplasty failure, or following tympanostomy tube extrusion. It involves wedging a piece of fat from the ear lobule into the perforation with local anesthesia in a one-day-stay procedure. This study demonstrates the efficacy of this method in a persistent small tympanic membrane perforation.
