[Clinico-morphologic aspects of chronic mesotympanitis].
The present authors examined 84 patients with chronic mesotympanitis, 72 of which showed pathological lesions of the middle ear mucosa and bone. This was confirmed by X-ray contrasting examination before surgery and histological examination of tissue samples. Histological analysis showed that the level of destructive changes in middle ear cavities depended on the disease duration. Fibrous tissues of varying degree of maturity, cholesteatoma, tympanosclerotic patches, encapsulated fragments of caries bone frequently cause blockade of the aditus which complicates the chronic process in middle ear cavities and should be regarded as an absolute indication for surgical treatment of chronic mesotympanitis.
