To evaluate the effectiveness of laser myringotomy in otitis media with effusion (OME) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Laser myringotomy was performed with a CO 2 laser otoscope in 53 NPC patients (68 ears) and 32 non-NPC patients (37 ears). All patients had a history of OME.
In the NPC group, 40% of ears developed persistent perforation, 37% had recurrent OME, and 23% were free of disease. In the non-NPC group, only 3% of ears developed persistent perforation, and 43% were free of disease. Significant differences in perforation and disease-free state were evident between the 2 groups. Tumor stage was found to be a significant determining factor for clinical outcome in NPC group.
Laser myringotomy for NPC group carries a significantly higher risk of persistent perforation and lower rate of cure. This procedure may be considered for early staging NPC patients with serious OME symptoms.
评估激光鼓膜切开术治疗鼻咽癌(NPC)患者分泌性中耳炎(OME)的有效性。
对53例NPC患者(68耳)和32例非NPC患者(37耳)使用二氧化碳激光耳镜进行激光鼓膜切开术。所有患者均有OME病史。
在NPC组中,40%的耳朵出现持续性穿孔,37%复发OME,23%无疾病。在非NPC组中,仅3%的耳朵出现持续性穿孔,43%无疾病。两组之间在穿孔和无疾病状态方面存在显著差异。发现肿瘤分期是NPC组临床结果的一个重要决定因素。
NPC组进行激光鼓膜切开术出现持续性穿孔的风险显著更高,治愈率更低。对于有严重OME症状的早期NPC患者可考虑此手术。
