Tympanic membrane changes in central tympanic membrane perforations

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2005
The objective of this study was to evaluate the histopathological changes in central tympanic membrane perforations caused by chronic otitis media without cholesteatoma.Twenty-nine temporal bones from 25 patients (13 male patients and 12 female patients) with central tympanic membrane perforations-18 chronic otitis media with perforation and 11 chronic

Tympanic membrane perforations in children

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1996
We have assessed children with perforations of the pars-tensa presenting to an otolaryngology clinic over a 7-year period. We found that over 70% of the perforations followed the insertion of a ventilation tube. Using a novel method of dividing the tympanic membrane into quadrants, we were able to assess the sites and grade the size of perforations ...

Tympanic Membrane Perforation: Effect on Audiogram

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1972
The effects of both size and location of tympanic membrane perforations on hearing loss were studied. Using only those cases in which the air-bone gap was closed by myringoplasty, the variable of ossicular chain defects was controlled. Definite trends appeared in averages of the groups which tend to confirm two generalizations: (1) Effectiveness of the

Tympanic membrane perforation may be caused by, e.g., trauma or acute or chronic middle ear infection. Perforation causes conductive hearing loss. Since it predisposes to infections, it is important to keep the ear dry. In most cases traumatic perforations heal spontaneously.

Acute Traumatic Tympanic Membrane Perforation

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1988
To the Editor.—In the article that appeared in the December issue of theArchives, by Lindeman et al,1they concluded that acute traumatic tympanic membrane perforations do not need to be treated routinely with paper patching. I am convinced that their observation regarding the healing rate, whether or not a paper patch was used, is valid.

Tympanic Membrane Perforation Repair Using Alloderm

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2000
BACKGROUND:Some patients lack quality autologous tissue for tympanic membrane (TM) grafting. AlloDerm (LifeCell Corp, The Woodlands, TX) is a preserved allograft that has been effective in nonotologic applications.OBJECTIVE:The goal of this study was to investigate AlloDerm in the repair of chronic TM perforations.
