Causes of mistaken diagnosis of secretory otitis media

Objective To reduce mistaken diagnosis of secretory otitis media (SOM). Methods During the years of 1999-2003, 362cases (382ears) with intact data were diagnosed as SOM and analyzed retrospectively, in which 33 cases (38 ears) failed to be correctly diagnosed. Results There were four causes for misdiagnosis of SOM: (1)equivocal symptoms;(2) carelessness in history-taking;(3) carelessness in examining the tympanic membrane;(4)the lack of a comprehensive study for the symptoms and physical signs. Conclusions A comprehensive analysis should be made on the basis of the age, the past history and pure tone audiogram of the patients. Acoustic immitance mesurements have a 99% positive rate in diagnosis of SOM and should be used as a routine measurement for all SOM suspects.
