ABSTRACT: Total 100 patients of age group 6-65 years old of chronic suppurative otitis media (squamous type-33 and mucosal type-67) visiting ENT OPD with main complain related to ear were selected randomly and thorough ENT examination was done followed by nasal endoscopy and required radiological investigation. 64 patients were found having one or other nasal pathology that might be the culprit for ear disease of the total nasal pathologies maximum cases were of DNS alone or with Allergic rhinitis followed by nasal sinusitis and nasal polyps. The study concludes that nasal diseases are the precipitating factors for chronic suppurative otitis media so every case of CSOM should have through examination of nose and PNS to rule out sinonasal pathology.
KEYWORDS: chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) deviated nasal septum (DNS), diagnostic nasal endoscopy (DNE).
