Abstract :

 

Chronic Suppurative Otitis media is a chronic inflammation of the middle ear cleft characterized by ear discharge from a permanent perforation in the tympanic memane. It has been classified into two types tubo–tympanic and attico–antral type depending upon whether the pars tensa is involved (former) or parsflaccida is involved (later). The perforations of pars tensa are again of two types – 1. Central and 2. Marginal. The Central tubo–tympanic perforations are considered as safe as they are usually not encountered with life threatening complications where as marginal perforations of pars tensa and attic perforations are considered as dangerous as they are often associated with life threatening complications. The disease is more common in developing countries especially among low socio–economic society because of malnutrition, overcrowding, poor hygiene, inadequate health care, and recurrent upper respiratory tract infection. The urban to rural ratio of the disease is 1:2 and the poorer rural communities have highest prevalence (1) With the advent of newer antibiotics the complication rates in Chronic Suppurative Otitis media (CSOM) has drastically come down but has lead to another problem due to indiscriminate use of antibiotics – that of multi–drug resistant bacterial strains and disease complica­tions in return. Changes in bacterial flora in CSOM in the last decade have been confirmed and described by various authors. (2) Knowledge of the common causative organisms and their antibiotic sensitivity is helpful in deciding the drug of choice in peri operative management of both safe and unsafe types of CSOM.
