The Authors have studied the behaviour of nasal mucociliary transport (MCT) in the chronic phlogistic pathology of the middle ear, in subjects suffering from simple and cholesteatomatous otitis.

Abstract

The Authors have studied the behaviour of nasal mucociliary transport (MCT) in the chronic phlogistic pathology of the middle ear, in subjects suffering from simple and cholesteatomatous otitis. In both groups the duration of MCT was longer than a control group of normal subjects; instead no significant difference was observed either between the two kind of pathologies nor between the two different phases of the otitis (quiescence and breakthrough). The Authors conclude therefore that, in the recurrent phlogistic pathology of the middle ear, the function of MCT must be carefully studied, possibly corrected if damaged, to prevent the evolution in the breakthrough.
