Outcomes of examination under anaesthesia of post-nasal space and grommet insertion in adults presenting with otitis media with effusion

CONCLUSION: Grommets in adults with otitis media with effusion as the sole presenting feature carry a high complication rate, especially in those with previously inserted grommets. Examination under anaesthesia of the post-nasal space offers a low yield. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the post-nasal space may be a more sensitive alternative.PMID:34078484 | DOI:10.1017/S0022215121001444
