Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Central perforation of tympanic membrane of fifty patients were cauterized with 30 percent trichloroacetic acid having around 1-6mm size of perforation.Most of the cases that were undertaken were post traumatic and inflammatory in nature.The site of the perforations were mostly the anterioinferior and posterioinferior quadrants.Almost all the traumatic perforations were irregular in shape.The range of hearing loss was 15-40dB.TCA cauterization was undertaken after a discharge free period of atleast 3 weeks and in cases of traumatic perforations it was undertaken after 4 weeks for wait of spontaneous closure. In 4 cases we had to go for 4 attempts, in 2 cases for 6 attempts and the rest healed within 1-3 attempts of cauterization. In three cases there was no improvement in hearing ,and in 9 cases a mild gain in hearing.In this study,76% success rate has been achieved.
