Otitis media with effusion diagnosis and follow up
Middle ear fluids were observed either by otoscopic examination -
oromicroscopy or imaging (CT scan or MRI) follow up. MEE was suspected
when otoscopy discovered a decreased motility of the tympanic mebrane,
an air-fluid level or amber color change within the middle ear cavity
which were confirmed by detecting opacification of the middle ear and
mastoid air cells on imaging of the patient which were also examined.
