Also known as : Secretory Otitis Media
# Collection of thick sterile glue like fluid in the middle ear .
#Adenoid hypertrophy in school going children causing B/L glue ear is the most common etiology .
#Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in an adult causing unilateral Glue ear is a rare etiologfy .
C/F : Heaviness in the ear . Not a painful condition . Conductive hearing loss 10-40 dB . Adenoid face . Poor school performance .
Investigation : 1. PTA 2. Tympanometry -B curve 3. Treatment of choice : Myringotomy with Grommet insertion + Adenoidectomy
Myringotomy for glue ear is done at anteroinferior quadrant .
Grommet is a ventilation tube .
Aero Otitis Media : Or Barotrauma of the ear .
# It happens during descent of a flight
# It fails to open up it leads to sudden retraction of tympanic membrane which causes severe earache .
Treatment : Valsalva
ET catheterisation
Politzerization , if it fails then do Myringotomy and grommet insertion
