Abstract
Chronic otitis media is a longstanding infection of middle ear cleft having permanent perforation in the tympanic membrane with or without discharge. COM, is broadly divided into 2 types‐mucosal (also known as tubotympanic) and squamous (also known as atticoantral), both may lead to erosion of the ossicular chain. Pathologies that interrupt the ossicular chain result in large hearing losses. This study was conducted in patients with COM undergoing surgery. The study group includes 60 patients with COM (mucosal and squamous type) (unilateral and bilateral), who presented to the ENT department at a tertiary care center in Central India over a period of 18 months from November 2019 to April 2021, who underwent surgical exploration of middle ear with or without mastoid, for the eradication of disease. All patients were counseled about the study and consent was taken by the patient for including in the study and publication. From the observation and results obtained from this study, we concluded that ossicular erosion was found to be more common in cases of squamous type, than in mucosal type of COM. Handle of malleus erosion was found to be most common finding in mucosal type of disease. Complete incus erosion was the most common finding in squamous type of disease.
