Effectiveness of instillation of triamcinolone acetonide into the middle ear for eosinophilic otitis media associated with bronchial asthma

Bone Conduction Hearing Level in Patients With Eosinophilic Otitis Media Associated With Bronchial Asthma

“…Recently, we have reported that the instillation of triamcinolone acetonide into the middle ear of EOM patients is very effective in controlling eosinophilic inflammation, and the BCHL deterioration was rarely observed during therapy (21). When we treat patients with EOM, early interventions using effective and evidence-based treatments are mandatory; in addition, it is very important to explain to the patients the possibility of progressive and sudden hearing loss during the course of the disease.…”

Clinical Efficacy of Anti-IgE Therapy for Eosinophilic Otitis Media

“…The condition is very intractable, and the patients have persistent MEE/otorrhea and hearing loss, resulting in a worsening quality of life. Currently, the most effective treatment for EOM is administration of topical corticosteroids (9). Patients need periodic intratympanic instillation of corticosteroids and sometimes show exacerbation and require administration of oral corticosteroids.…”

Risk factors associated with severity of eosinophilic otitis media

“…EOM is unresponsive to conventional treatments, such as myringotomy or insertion of a tympanostomy tube. Intratympanic instillation of triamcinolone acetonide has been used to treat middle ear effusion (MEE) and otorrhea [5]. The condition of most patients with EOM remains stable by systemic, topical, or oral administration of corticosteroids.…”
