The effect of adenoidectomy on secretory otitis media in children. 1979

M S Andersen, and U Meistrup-Larsen, and K I Meistrup-Larsen, and E Peitersen

139 patients, 80 boys and 59 girls aged 1 1/4--13 1/2 years suffering from serous otitis media based on otoscopy and tympanometry had adenoidectomy performed and no other surgical measures taken. The efficiency of the treatment was assessed 2--4 months later. Intially flat tympanometry curves were found in 155 ears, negative middle ear pressure in 70 ears and low curves in 20 ears. 78% of all ears and 73% of the ears with flat curves were seen to normalize during the observation periods.

D000158 Acoustic Impedance Tests Objective tests of middle ear function based on the difficulty (impedance) or ease (admittance) of sound flow through the middle ear. These include static impedance and dynamic impedance (i.e., tympanometry and impedance tests in conjunction with intra-aural muscle reflex elicitation). This term is used also for various components of impedance and admittance (e.g., compliance, conductance, reactance, resistance, susceptance).
