| dc.description.abstract | Backgroud: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is one of the major
health problems found in many population in the world and causes of high
morbidity and mortality. One of the factors that predisposes to CSOM is
disfunction of Eustachian tube. The more horizontal of the Eustachian tube
angle causes Eustachian tube dysfunction and clearance disorders of the
middie ear. Objectives: To evaluate the mean of Eustachian tube angle
and to examine diffrentiation the angle of Eustachian tube in CSOM with
and without cholesteato;na. Methods: This research is a case-control
study. Study group consist of 27 patients of CSOM with cholesteatoma
and 27 patients of CSOM without cholesteatoma included as controlling.
All patients are examined by using CT Temporal and measured angle of
Eustachian tube using Multiplanar Reconstruction technique on osirix
program. Results: The mean of Eustachian tube angle in CSOM patients
with cholesteatoma is 28,32° and CSOM without cholesteatoma is 33,03°.
The mean of the Eustachian tube angle in CSOM with cholesteatoma in
female patients was 28, 79° and male 27, BB° whereas in the CSOM group
without cholesteatoma in female patients was 34,65° and men 31,91°· In
independent T test, the result showed significant diffrentiation (p<0, 05)
between mean angle of Eustachian tube in patients CSOM with and
without cholesteatoma. Conclusion: The advance of technology makes
easier to measure of Eustachian tube angle. In men found that the
Eustachian tube angle is more holizontal than women. There is
diffrentiation the angle of the Eustachian tube in patients CSOM with and
without cholesteatoma. | en_US |
