Abstract

Background: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is the most common disease in children, up to 80% of children suffer from this disease before the 10 years old [1], adenoiditis that is one of the factors causing the disease is not treated to able to cause hearing loss or dangerous complications. Objectives: Describe the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of OME in patient to be adenoidectomy at the Vietnam national children’s hospital. Materials and methods: Cross – sectional descriptive study including 45 patients diagnosed OME and adenoidectomy at the Vietnam nation children’s hospital in the period from May 2023 to March 2024. Results and discussions: Under 5 years old was the most common 73,33%; Nasal congestion and discharge accounted for 77,78%; Grade 3 adenoid was 71,11%, grade 4 was 15,56%;Bilateral otitis media 68,89%, Lateral one 31,11%; Emerge tympanic membrane with effusion 35,53%, Concavity with effusion 36,84%. Conclusions: OME in the patient to be adenoidectomy that often causes bilateral inflammation. Hypertrophic adenoid may be obstruction of the eustachian tube to be concave or emerge tympanic membrane with effusion
