Short-term results or post-operative check-ups after tympanoplasties in children and adults are compared. There is no higher incidence of recurrent perforations in children. The distribution of air cells in adults and children does not vary, indicating that anatomic variations, rather than disease, are responsible for the sclerosis in the mastoid. Anatomic variations of the epipharynx might influence ventilation. Correlations between the width of the epipharynx and the distance between molars and premolars are shown, as is an inverse relation between the height of the palate and the height of the septum. These observations might be important for a prognosis in patients with ear disease.
比较了儿童和成人鼓室成形术后的短期结果或术后检查情况。儿童复发性穿孔的发生率并不更高。成人和儿童气房的分布没有差异，这表明乳突硬化是由解剖变异而非疾病引起的。咽上部的解剖变异可能会影响通气。展示了咽上部宽度与磨牙和前磨牙之间距离的相关性，以及腭高度与鼻中隔高度之间的反比关系。这些观察结果可能对耳部疾病患者的预后具有重要意义。
