A planimetric study of therapy-dependent development of temporal bone pneumatization in secretory otitis media.

Abstract
The present study is based on the results of a planimetric investigation of temporal bone pneumatization in 43 children. Radiological and clinical follow-up studies 10 years after therapy for secretory otitis media indicate an adaptation in the size of pneumatization to an almost normal area. The increase shows that a myringotomy is sufficient in cases of serous effusion, whereas a mucous fluid requires long-term middle ear ventilation.
