    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Middle ear effusion (MEE) is common in children.
    • MEE often co-occurs with upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs).
    • Maxillary sinusitis is a frequent comorbidity with MEE.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between URTIs and MEE in children.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of treating sinonasal infections for MEE resolution.
    • To compare the effectiveness of sinus lavage versus adenoidectomy for MEE.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective and prospective study design.
    • Inclusion of pediatric patients diagnosed with MEE.
    • Intervention involved lavage of infected maxillary sinuses or adenoidectomy.

    Main Results:

    • MEE was frequently associated with URTI, especially maxillary sinusitis.
    • Sinus lavage resolved MEE in approximately 85% of cases.
    • Adenoidectomy had a limited effect on MEE resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • Treating maxillary sinusitis is a highly effective intervention for pediatric MEE.
    • Sinus lavage is a superior treatment for MEE compared to adenoidectomy in this cohort.
    • Addressing sinonasal infections is crucial for managing MEE in children.
