“…The preferred course of therapy was surgery, which aimed to completely eradicate the illness while preserving or, to the extent feasible, restoring hearing. 8 , 13 A CT scan of the patient's head revealed a cystic mass in the left cerebellar hemisphere and a dilated ventricle. The patient had been seen by the neurosurgery department due to a problem with stinky otorrhea coming from the left ear.…”

Background:Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media is characterized by persistent secretion from the ear that has been pierced for longer than two months. An attic or posterosuperior cholesteatoma with a history of sparse, pungent otorrhea and hearing loss is a sign of unsafe CSOM. Cholesteatoma can infiltrate and cause bone damage. One of the most frequent intracranial consequences is a brain abscess. Objective: to learn how to manage and treat patients with risky type CSOM who have brain abscess consequences. Case Report: A 35-year-old man has been complaining for two months about otorrhea coming from his left ear. Hearing loss, hearing loss that originally felt pounding intermittently, a yellow-green color that is thick and stinks, and a headache that becomes worse after two weeks. Otoscopy observations include a cicatrix in the left retroauricle and a greenish-yellow discharge that is dense and foul-smelling. Results of a CT scan show that the left mastoid's cholesteatoma and tegmen have eroded. The patient underwent a craniotomy and a modified radical mastoidectomy at the same time. Methods: Using PubMed, Medline, NCBI, manual research to search for the evidence and literature. Result: CSOM is referred to as a continuation of the initial episode of acute otitis media with the characteristics of persistent secretions from the middle ear through the tympanic membrane perforation. Conclusion: Ear infection control is important for the management of cases like this, where in the literature review it is explained that mastoidectomy is the main treatment option.

“…The complications of CSOM are considered more fatal when associated with hearing impairment (Moruskar et al, 2019). CSOM accompanied by a tympanic membrane perforation is coupled with hearing loss (Aneesa et al, 2019).…”

Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is characterized by persistent otorrhoea from the middle ear through a perforated tympanic membrane. It is regarded as one of the most important causes of hearing impairment in developing countries. In many cases, treating CSOM with antibiotics generates fears of resistance. Unlike conventional antibiotics, homeopathic remedies are mostly free from side effects. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the effects of homeopathic medicines to treat CSOM patients. A total of 90 subjects were included in this study; among them, 60 were suffering from CSOM, and 30 were healthy controls. The CSOM patients were randomly assigned for the daily administration of homeopathic medicines such as tellurium metallicum in 6C potency (n=17), mercurius solubilis in 200C potency (n=13), and calcarea sulphurica in 30C potency (n=10) for 8 weeks. Ear suppuration was prevented in all of the patients treated with the medicines. More than 50% of the patients’ tympanic membrane perforation were healed by tellurium metallicum and calcarea sulphurica, however, no membrane healing was observed by mercuris solubilis. It was next examined whether the patients underwent hearing impairment compared to healthy control subjects. The average hearing thresholds of the control subjects (n=30) at 1, 4, 8, and 12 kHz frequencies were 13.55 ± 1.57, 15.58 ± 1.12, 27.58 ± 2.00, and 32.57 ± 2.45 dB SPL, respectively. When the average hearing thresholds of the CSOM patients (n=40) were measured at all of the above frequencies, the values became 30.25 ± 1.75, 36.80 ± 3.25, 50.75 ± 2.35, and 59.50 ± 2.96 dB SPL, respectively. This result indicated the loss of hearing in CSOM patients as the average hearing thresholds of the patients were significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the control subjects. Treatment for 8 weeks with all three homeopathic medicines significantly reduced (p<0.05) hearing thresholds of the patients at all the frequencies. This result demonstrated dramatic improvement in patients’ hearing by the homeopathic medicines. This study, therefore, provides conclusive evidence that homeopathic medicines prevent ear suppuration in CSOM patients as well as heal perforated membrane, and improve hearing.
