Overview

Case-control study reveals significant anatomical differences in nasal and otologic structures in chronic otitis media patients.

Key Points

  • To compare anatomical variations in the skull between diseased and healthy sides in unilateral chronic otitis media patients.
  • Within-subject case-control study
  • Utilized high-resolution computed tomography scans
  • Compared 50 diseased and 50 healthy temporal bones from 50 adult patients
  • Deviated nasal septum was more frequent on COM side (19 vs 8)
  • Concha bullosa more common on COM side (18 vs 9)
  • Mastoid less pneumatized on COM side (4 vs 20)
