はじめに
幼少児の滲出性中耳炎:Otitis media witheffusion (=OME)については,多くの報告がみられる。その内容はOMEの成因に関して急性中耳炎より起こるもの,経耳管的に起こるもの,またアデノイド増殖症との関係によって起こるなどの報告が多い。しかし上気道疾患でもっとも多い疾患の鼻副鼻腔疾患の副鼻腔炎,鼻アレルギーとの関係についての報告は少ない。
今回OMEが小児副鼻腔炎,鼻アレルギーとどの程度合併しているかについて検討し,さらに治療法の1つとしてチューブ挿入の結果について報告する。
Incidence of OME in children under the age of 15 years who were treated as outpatients with OME or nasosinusitis was unrelated to sex. A majority of these patients were in the range of 4 to 8 years old.
From x-ray findings of OME and their hearing level, we found no close correlation between severity of pathology and degree of hearing loss.
In most cases, hearing acuity was improved following tube insertions.
According to a long term biannual observation, the progress of hearing recovery was better in the group of patients aged 7 or younger than in the patients aged 8 or older.
