Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the indications, the results and the limits of preoperative computed tomography CT scanning in chronic otitis media COM , and to evaluate the clinical contribution of CT in determining the nature and complications of the disease. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the results of preoperative CT with operative findings during mastoidectomy in 50 patients with COM 28 males, 22 females; mean age 34 years; range 16 to 69 years between January 2008 and January 2010 were analyzed. Results: Computed tomography was highly sensitive to the presence of soft tissue, mastoid pneumatization, dural height, and temporal bone destruction with nearly 100% sensitivity. Its contribution to detecting lateral canal fistulas, facial canal dehiscence, tegmen tympani erosion, and ossicular integrity was limited. Conclusion: Preoperative assessment of COM with CT produce important guidance to evaluate the extent of the disease and to prevent possible intraoperative complications.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kronik otitis mediada KOM ameliyat öncesi bilgisayarlı tomografinin BT endikasyonları, sonuçları ve sınırları araştırıldı ve hastalığın özellikleri ve komplikasyonlarının belirlenmesinde BT’nin klinik katkısı değerlendirildi.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Bu çapraz kesitsel çalışmada, Ocak 2008 - Ocak 2010 tarihleri arasında KOM’si olan 50 hastanın 28 erkek, 22 kadın; ort. yaş: 34; dağılım 16-69 yıl ameliyat öncesi BT sonuçları mastoidektomi sırasındaki cerrahi bulgular ile birlikte incelendi.Bulgular: Bilgisayarlı tomografi yumuşak doku, mastoid pnömonizasyonu, dural yükseklik ve temporal kemik yıkımı açısından, neredeyse %100 duyarlılık ile, yüksek düzeyde duyarlıydı. Lateral kanal fistüller, fasiyal kanal dehisansı, tegmen timpani erozyonu ve ossiküler bütünlüğün saptanmasına sınırlı bir katkısı vardı.Sonuç: Kronik otitis medianın ameliyat öncesi BT ile değerlendirilmesi, hastalığın derecesinin değerlendirilmesinde ve ameliyat sırasında oluşabilecek komplikasyonların önlenmesinde önemli bir kılavuzdur
