C.S.O.M.:
Clinical Features
Dr. Vishal Sharma
Definition
• Chronic (> 3 months) pyogenic infection of
middle ear cleft mucosa, characterized by
persistent perforation of tympanic membrane,
ear discharge & decreased hearing
• Prevalence in Nepal: 7.2 %
Types of C.S.O.M.
Tubo-tympanic: chronic pyogenic infection of
middle ear cleft mucosa with persistent perforation
in pars tensa
Attico-antral: chronic pyogenic infection of middle
ear cleft with cholesteatoma & granulations in attic
or postero-superior quadrant of pars tensa
Middle ear cleft

Types
Perforation of Pars Tensa

4 quadrants of T.M.

Eardrum
touches
incus

Otological examination
1. Pre-auricular region: sinus, lymph node
2. Pinna: size, position, deformity, swelling
3. Post-auricular region: surgical scar, swelling,
fistula, lymph node
4. External auditory canal: meatal opening, otitis
externa, wax, fungal debris, ear discharge
Otological examination
5. Tympanic membrane:
intact: colour, position, mobility, tympanosclerosis,
retraction pocket
perforated: type, site, size & margin of perforation
handle of malleus; middle ear cavity (mucosa, ear
discharge, polyp, granulations, cholesteatoma
flakes); pars flaccida
Otological examination
6. Mastoid cavity: size, facial ridge, discharge,
epithelialization, granulations, polyps
7. Tragal tenderness: associated otitis externa
8. Mastoid tenderness: cymba conchae, mastoid
body + tip & posterior zygoma root
9. Fistula sign
10. Facial nerve function
11. Tuning Fork Tests
Tubo-tympanic
Disease
Predisposing factors
• Upper respiratory tract infection (recurrent)
• Upper respiratory tract allergy
• Pre-existing otitis media with effusion
• Cleft palate
• Immune deficiency: diabetes, AIDS
• Poor socio-economic status
Bacteria responsible
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Klebsiella
• Proteus
• Streptococcus
• Bacteroides
Routes of infection
1. Via Eustachian tube:
U.R.T.I., nose blowing, regurgitation of milk
2. Via tympanic membrane perforation:
following A.S.O.M. or post-traumatic
3. Haematogenous (rare):
viral exanthematous fevers
Pathological Changes
1. Eardrum: central perforation; myringosclerosis
2. Ossicles: Destruction (hyperaemic decalcification)
Tympanoslerosis
Fibrosis + Adhesions
3. Middle ear mucosa: edematous, pale pink
4. Mastoid bone: sclerosis
Clinical Features
Ear discharge: profuse, mucoid / muco-purulent,
intermittent, odourless, not blood-stained
Hearing Loss:  usually conductive (25-50 dB)
 absent in small, dry perforations
 round window shielding by ear
discharge leads to better hearing
Tympanic membrane: central perforation

disease
Cholesteatoma
• Term used by Johannes Müller in 1858
• Three dimensional sac lined by matrix of
keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium
which rests on a thin layer of fibrous tissue
• Contains desquamated keratin debris
• Grows at the expense of surrounding bone
• Not a tumor & has no cholesterol
• Epidermosis is a better term
Cholesteatoma
Histopathology
Causes of bone destruction
1. Hyperaemic decalcification
2. Osteoclastic bone resorption due to:
 Acid phosphatase
 Collagenase
 Acid proteases
 Proteolytic enzymes
 Leukotrienes
 Cytokines
3. Pressure necrosis: No role
4. Bacterial toxins: No role
Types of Cholesteatoma
Congenital (McKenzie)
Primary Acquired
Secondary Acquired
1. Retraction pocket
1. Squamous metaplasia
(Wittmaack)
2. Basal cell hyperplasia
(Ruedi)
3. Squamous metaplasia
(Sade)
2. Epithelial migration
(Habermann)
Tertiary Acquired
1. Post-traumatic
2. Post-tympanoplasty
Congenital cholesteatoma
Persistence of congenital cell rests in middle ear,
petrous apex, cerebello-pontine angle
Congenital cholesteatoma
Retraction pocket formation
Retraction pocket in pars flaccida or Postero-superior
quadrant pars tensa due to E.T. dysfunction
Basal cell hyperplasia
Hyperplasia of basal cells in epithelial layer of
T.M. & their invasion of sub-epithelial tissues
Primary squamous metaplasia
Transformation of middle ear mucosa into squamous
epithelium due to infection, with no T.M. perforation
Secondary squamous metaplasia
Transformation of middle ear mucosa into squamous
epithelium due to infection via T.M. perforation
Epithelial migration
Migration of epithelium via T.M. perforation into middle ear
Post-traumatic cholesteatoma
Mechanisms:
1. Epithelial entrapment in fracture line
2. In growth of epithelium through fracture line
3. Traumatic implantation of epithelium into middle ear
4. Trapping of epithelium medial to E.A.C. stenosis
Pathological Changes
1. T.M. perforation: marginal or attic
2. T.M. retraction pocket: attic or P.S.Q.
3. Cholesteatoma formation
4. Ossicles: destruction
5. Middle ear mucosa: edematous, red
6. Aural polyp: red, fleshy
7. Osteitis & granulation tissue formation
8. Mastoid bone: erosion, sclerosis
Clinical Features
Ear discharge: scanty, purulent, continuous, foulsmelling, blood-stained
Hearing Loss: conductive or sensori-neural
T.M. perforation: marginal or attic or total
T.M. retraction pocket: attic or P.S.Q.
Cholesteatoma flakes
Aural polyp, osteitis & granulation tissue
