[Impact of chronic seromucous otitis on child linguistic development].
Chronic seromucous otitis (CSO) has been involved in genetic alterations of linguisic infantile development, nontheless studies with regard to our linguistic pattern are not many, as well as those assessing its pattern in the healthy evolvement of a linguistic pragmatism (usage). We fix the level of language skills among 16 children between 5 and 6 year-old, being affected from long lasting CSO. The incidence of alterations was 20 percent in the under of 5, that increases till 33 percent in the sub-group of 6 year-old. These numbers are interesting enough in order to insist in the need of requiringan effective and early treatment of CSO patients and also of scholar implication in its global handling.
