| Popis: | Objectives:Describe in children: (1) cholesteatoma growth patterns; (2) conductive hearing loss severity; (3) contralateral ear (CLE) findings.Methods:Cross-sectional study. Videotoscopies of 129 pediatric patients at a tertiary care hospital were analyzed for cholesteatoma growth patterns, air-bone gap, and CLE otoscopic findings. Data were compared with the chi-squared test and analyzed using SPSS.Results:The mean patient age was 12.4 ± 4.36 years. The cholesteatoma growth patterns were anterior epitympanic cholesteatomas (5.4%), posterior epitympanic (21.7%), posterior mesotympanic (43.4%), 2 routes pattern (17.1%), and undetermined (12.4%). The pure tone average air-bone gap (PTA-ABG) was ≤20 dB in 8.7% of patients, between 20 to 40 dB in 43.4% of patients, and ≥40 dB in 47.9%. The CLE was normal in 34.9% of patients and had moderate or severe tympanic membrane (TM) retractions in 46.5%, TM perforation in 7.8%, and cholesteatoma in 10.9% of patients. The CLE disease prevalence was similar between the ... |
