A Study of the Correlation of the Clinical Feature, Radiological Evaluation and Operative Finding in CSOM with Cholesteatoma
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Acquired cholesteatoma which occurs as sequelae to the chronic otitis media, has proved to cause many complications when left undetected and untreated. The extension of the cholesteatoma in mastoid and middle ear occurs frequently. Cholesteatoma is traditionally diagnosed by otoscopic and microscopic examination and treated by exploratory surgery. It is necessary to know the type of extension of cholesteatoma and to decide the type of surgery to be done. The hidden areas in the middle ear, which cannot be well assessed by otomicroscopy alone, CT scan and X - ray, have proved to be valuable diagnostic tools. This study helps to establish the accuracy with which the preoperative radiological findings and the clinical findings are correlated with the surgical diagnosis of cholesteatoma. Study was conducted on 60 patient. Study showed that CT finding of temporal bone correlated well with surgical findings. Keywords: CSOM, Cholesteatoma, CT temporal bone, Complications of CSOM
