title: [Tympanometry in children in general practice].
abstract: Accurate diagnosis of otitis media in children is essential but sometimes difficult. Good knowledge of signs and symptoms of acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion is not always sufficient. Tympanometry is an easy investigation that can be useful in general practice. Here is a review of the principle and the limitation of that technique.
