Serous otitis media is a capricious entity that can cause conductive deafness. The condition is most common in children, who often cannot describe the attending symptoms of deafness, fullness, and pressure. The basic contributing factor is inadequate function of the eustachian tube. Function improves as the child approaches 12 years of age. Underlying factors such as infections, adenoidal hypertrophy, and allergic states also must be managed. The otitis media may be treated medically or surgically.
浆液性中耳炎是一种可能导致传导性耳聋的易变病症。这种情况在儿童中最为常见，而儿童往往无法描述伴随的耳聋、耳闷和耳内压力等症状。基本的促成因素是咽鼓管功能不足。随着儿童接近12岁，其功能会有所改善。感染、腺样体肥大和过敏状态等潜在因素也必须加以处理。中耳炎可以通过药物治疗或手术治疗。
