[Polyps of the external auditory canal and cholesteatoma].

A retrospective study of 50 patients with an aural polyp located in the external auditory canal was made. Our main objective was to identify predictive factors for underlying cholesteatoma, as well as to determine our management strategy for aural polyps. We analyzed the most important findings of otological imaging, hearing loss, radiological examination, and medical or surgical treatment. The anatomopathological examination in some cases showed a rare pathology that should be considered in our diagnostic evaluation. The presence of cholesteatoma underlying the polyp in 52% of cases indicates the importance of the polyp location and radiological signs as predictive factors for the diagnosis of cholesteatoma.

[Tympanosclerosis. Review of 138 cases].

Tympanosclerosis is a pathological finding that is accompanied by two surgical drawbacks: first, poor functional results, and second, increased risk of surgical procedures. We reviewed 138 cases operated in our Service in order to describe the audiological outcome and discuss surgical options for tympanosclerosis.

When the weeping stopped: an otologist views otorrhea and gentamicin.

Gentamicin sulfate ophthalmic solution, 0.3%, was used ototopically in the treatment of 300 patients with otorrhea associated with acute and chronic ear conditions and to obtain a preoperative "dry state" in 93 cases in which surgical operation was indicated. Bacterial cultures, antibiograms, and audiometric tests were conducted before, during, and after ototopical therapy. Gentamicin-susceptible pathogens were isolated in all cases. A totally "dry state", after three weeks of therapy, was considered evidence of clinical success. Administration of gentamicin was by means of a wick or at the rate of 0.3 to 0.4 ml twice daily. Clinical success was observed in 271 cases. There were no signs of ototoxicity and only one reported instance of skin reaction. This simple, inexpensive treatment is particularly adaptable to situations in which specialized bacteriological testing facilities are unavailable and a broad-spectrum antibiotic is indicated.
