What are the complications of chronic suppurative otitis media?

Otitis media diseases include secretory otitis media, acute purulent otitis media, cholesteatoma otitis media, and barotraumatic otitis media. The complications of each type of otitis media are also different, so let's take a look at what are the complications of chronic suppurative otitis media.

Common complications of mastoidization** are:

Traumatic facial paralysis, caused by unfamiliar anatomy, improper manipulation techniques, and congenital anatomical abnormalities of the facial nerve, can cause partial or complete injury, 80% of which are located in the tympanic segment.

Injury to the horizontal semicircular canal or scraping of the stapes can cause symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and permanent total deafness due to secondary infection.

Surgical exposure of meningeal plates or sigmoid sinus plates can cause intracranial infections such as meningitis.

Injury to the internal jugular venous bulb and internal carotid artery causes massive hemorrhage, occasionally in patients with bold lipoma destruction and severe osteomyelitis.

The incomplete opening of the bony bridge and the insufficient reduction of the posterior bone wall of the external auditory canal lead to granulation hyperplasia of the external auditory canal, which later forms scarring, narrowing and even atresia.

The most common is cholesteatoma, and if the lesion tissue such as granulation and osteitis is not removed, the pus will continue to flow after surgery.

Generally, it is because acute otitis media has not been effectively removed or the acute otitis media has not been removed in time, causing otitis media to reverse, and after more than three months, we call it chronic purulent otitis media. Chronic purulent otitis media means that the course of the disease is relatively long, the harm to people is relatively large, and the effect is not good after repeated **, and it is generally relatively difficult to deal with purulent otitis media.

Symptoms vary slightly depending on different types of otitis media. Typical symptoms of suppurative otitis media include earache, hearing loss, discharge of water in the ear canal, pus, and even bleeding. Secretory otitis media is mostly manifested as ear pain, ear tightness, ear blockage, hearing loss or tinnitus.

In addition to the above typical symptoms, it can also be accompanied by fever, headache and other systemic symptoms. Symptoms: 1. Earache is more common in acute purulent otitis media, and the pain is more obvious when the tympanic membrane is hyperemia, and if it is accompanied by purulent discharge in the middle ear, it can be manifested as severe pain.

Some patients will experience a feeling of ear congestion. 2. Patients with suppurative otitis media with flowing water or purulent ear canal, when the eardrum is perforated, watery, bloody or purulent discharge will flow out of the ear canal. Ear canal discharge can be persistent or intermittent, with the former being more common in middle ear cholesteatomas, especially when the ear canal discharge is like tofu residue with a foul odor, and the latter is more common in chronic simple otitis media.

3. Most patients with hearing loss will be accompanied by varying degrees of hearing loss, especially patients with middle ear cholesteatoma, because the ossicular chain is destroyed by cholesteatoma, the hearing loss is more serious. 4. Some patients with tinnitus will be accompanied by low-key or high-profile tinnitus. In patients with secretory otitis media, when the nose is pinched and the air is puffed, the "sound of air passing through the water" in the ear will be heard.

Note: Some patients may have symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Otitis media is a very common ear disease, which tends to appear when people's immunity is weakened.

Hello, acute otitis media is an acute purulent inflammation of the mucosa of the middle ear, infected by the eustachian tube route. After a cold, inflammation of the pharynx and nose spreads to the eustachian tube, and the mucosa of the pharyngeal opening and lumen of the eustachian tube is congested and swollen, and ciliary movement is impaired, causing otitis media. The common pathogenic bacteria are mainly pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, etc.

Dangers of otitis media:

1.Recurrent otitis media can enlarge the perforation of the eardrum and harden the adhesions in the middle ear, further reducing hearing. If not properly used, it can also cause a decline in the function of the inner ear nerve, making it more difficult to treat.

2.Anti-** middle ear inflammation can lead to bone ulcer or cholesteatoma otitis media, and bone erosion may lead to facial nerve palsy, meningitis, brain abscess and other intracranial and extracranial complications, and even life-threatening.

Dry ears are to stop pus, you can find some secret recipes to try, such as what Shandong Muhammad otitis media**, there are on the Internet, I asked, but I haven't tried it. Say it is capable of dry ears, you can try. My father's ears were dry, so I didn't buy his medicine after asking.

Chronic otitis media is actually really troublesome, if you want to dry your ears in addition to medication, you should also pay attention to your usual diet and daily life, tympanic membrane repair is still done according to the actual situation, if the hearing loss is not particularly bad, then don't do it in the near future.

Acute suppurative otitis media is mainly caused by bacteria or viruses in the middle ear. Colds, rhinitis, tympanic membrane puncture, incorrect feeding of infants and young children are risk factors for bacterial infections.

Generally, it is mostly caused by colds, and there is obvious earache, swelling and pain in the early stage, and fever can be until the tympanic membrane is perforated and suppurated, and the pain is reduced. Another type of otitis media, called non-purulent otitis media, is not purulent, but only stuffy ears, hearing loss, or tinnitus.

Acute purulent otitis media is mostly a bacterial infection, which is mainly caused by upper respiratory tract, cold, acute sinusitis, acute pharyngitis and other reasons.

Hello! The main causes of chronic purulent otitis media are: kidney deficiency, anemia, excessive smoking and drinking, fatigue from staying up late, excessive nervous tension, noise, cold, trauma, etc.

At present, the tympanoplasty surgery for chronic purulent otitis media can be completely **chronic purulent otitis media.

Acute purulent otitis media is mostly delayed** or inappropriate, and the prolongation is chronic; or a direct continuation of acute necrotizing otitis media. The presence of chronic lesions in the nose and pharynx is also an important cause. Inflammation of the middle ear generally persists 6-8 weeks after the onset of acute inflammation.

in, collectively referred to as chronic.

The common pathogenic bacteria are Proteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Gram-negative bacilli are the most common, and non-sporous anaerobic infections or mixed infections have also gradually attracted attention.

1. Acute respiratory tract infection often occurs in people with poor physical fitness, and people who are prone to nasal, sinus and pharyngeal diseases such as nasal cavity, sinusitis, tonsillitis, etc., and when suffering from acute respiratory tract infection, it is easy to spread to the eustachian tube and cause acute purulent otitis media. 2. When suffering from acute respiratory tract infection, it is often caused by blowing the nose vigorously, flying by plane, swimming, diving, nasal irrigation or eustachian tube blowing. 3. Acute purulent otitis media is often combined with acute infectious diseases such as scarlet fever and measles.

4. Improper feeding posture or too much milk, too urgent, the baby has no time to swallow, causing choking, easy to squeeze milk into the Eustachian tube. 5. Some factors will cause narrowing of the lumen such as pharyngeal drums, affect their normal function, and are most likely to cause acute purulent otitis media, such as: adenoid hypertrophy, nasopharyngeal swelling and pain, nasopharyngeal adhesions, soft palate paralysis, posterior nasal hole polyps, hypotrophic turbinate posterior hypertrophy, atrophic rhinitis scabs, etc.

6. Swimming and diving in unclean water. 7. When the doctor is bleeding in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, the nasopharyngeal tamponade embolus used must be replaced in time, otherwise it will also cause Eustachian tube dysfunction, and there is a ** not noticed by everyone, some people have a bad habit of picking ears, ear picking is likely to cause tympanic membrane trauma, when washing hair or bathing, sewage from the eardrum trauma can enter the middle ear, and cause infection.

Generally, we mean that the course of the disease is more than two months, that is, if a patient has pus and discharge from the ear for more than two months, this is a very important condition for us to diagnose chronic purulent otitis media. In addition, it has symptoms such as pus, runny water and hearing loss, and the degree of its lesions is relatively severe, which can be found by CT examination to find the extent of the lesions inside the ears. Generally, we give a definition of chronic purulent otitis media, that is, its inflammation not only invades the mucosal layer inside the ear, it can reach the periosteal layer, that is, the periosteum on the surface of the bone, and even invades the bone, such a long-term chronic inflammation, we call chronic purulent otitis media.
