Comparison of tympanometric volume measurement with temporal bone CT findings in the assessment of mastoid bone pneumatization in chronic otitis media patients

CONCLUSIONS: There is a statistically significant relationship between tympanometrically measured ear volume and mastoid degrees of pneumatization on temporal bone tomography. As the degree of mastoid aeration increases, the tympanometric volume also increases. According to the results of this study, tympanometric air volume can be used reliably in the preoperative evaluation of mastoid bone aeration in cases of simple COM without ear drainage.PMID:37869942 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202310_34063
