Abstract
Chronic suppurative otitis media refers to those ears in which the ear drum has a chronic non healing perforation. The perforation may or may not be associated with ossicular fixation or necrosis, middle ear infections, tympanosclerosis or mastoiditis. It is a disease commonly found in lower socio-economic areas and is particularly prevalent worldwide in groups with low living standards.
