chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma (COMC) is a serious condition that may cause severe complications. According to the literature, in pediatric patients this entity can have a more aggressive behavior, leading to higher rates of morbidity. Consensus regarding the definition of aggressive and extensive cholesteatoma was lacking until recently. European Academy of Otology and Neurotology/Japan Otologic Society (EAONO/JOS) proposed a classification and staging system which was highly accepted by a group of otology experts.
to compare cholesteatoma characteristics between pediatric and adult patients using the EAONO/JOS stating system.
a retrospective analysis of the patients who underwent surgery for cholesteatoma treatment in a tertiary hospital was performed using EAONO/JOS classification. Congenital cholesteatoma, revision surgery, and follow-up losses were excluded. The patients were further divided into two cohorts: a pediatric group (<16 years old) and an adult group (>16 years old). The results were compared between them.
134 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 27 were pediatric, and 107 adult patients. We found a significant difference in supratubal recess, with higher rates of extension to this location in the pediatric group. Also in the pediatric cohort, COMC was accompanied by malleus erosion in a higher frequency, with a significant difference from adults; it also presented in higher stages of the disease according to EAONO/JOS classification. We found no differences in hearing gain post-operatively. Moreover, we found that age younger than 16 years was an independent risk factor for relapse with time.
according to our data, cholesteatoma in pediatric age has a more aggressive and extensive nature than in adults, and age younger than 16-years-old is an independent risk factor for relapse.
慢性化脓性中耳炎伴胆脂瘤(COMC)是一种严重疾病,可能导致严重并发症。根据文献,在儿科患者中,这种疾病可能具有更具侵袭性的行为,导致更高的发病率。直到最近,关于侵袭性和广泛性胆脂瘤的定义仍缺乏共识。欧洲耳科学与神经耳科学学会/日本耳科学会(EAONO/JOS)提出了一种分类和分期系统,该系统得到了一群耳科专家的高度认可。
使用EAONO/JOS分期系统比较儿科和成人患者的胆脂瘤特征。
采用EAONO/JOS分类法对一家三级医院接受胆脂瘤治疗手术的患者进行回顾性分析。排除先天性胆脂瘤、再次手术和失访病例。患者进一步分为两个队列:儿科组(<16岁)和成人组(>16岁)。比较两组结果。
134例患者符合纳入标准,其中儿科患者27例,成人患者107例。我们发现咽鼓管上隐窝存在显著差异,儿科组延伸至该部位的发生率更高。同样在儿科队列中,COMC伴有锤骨侵蚀的频率更高,与成人有显著差异;根据EAONO/JOS分类,其疾病分期也更高。我们发现术后听力增益无差异。此外,我们发现16岁以下是复发的独立危险因素。
根据我们的数据,儿科胆脂瘤比成人胆脂瘤具有更具侵袭性和广泛性,16岁以下是复发的独立危险因素。
