Abstract:
We described and compared the surgical findings in 38 children suffering from different forms of otitis media – otitis media with effusion and recurrent otitis media. We have shown that various forms of otitis media are dynamically interrelated regarding their causes and pathogenesis and do not represent separate entities. Rather, they represent the same disease process as it progresses in continuum.
Am descris şi comparat descoperiri intraoperatorii la copiii cu diferite forme de otita medie – otita medie exudativă şi otita medie recidivantă. Am demonstrat că forme variate de otita medie interrelatează dinamic şi nu prezintă entităţi separate, dar sunt manifestări clinice al aceiaşi proces patologic în continuitate.
