OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical characteristics of children with granular myringitis.
STUDY DESIGN: Case series with chart review of children with granular myringitis.
SETTING: Tertiary care children's hospitals in Delaware and Florida.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: From July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2011, 15 patients were identified with granular myringitis based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision code 384.1 (10 male, 5 female; 10 left-sided, 5 right-sided).
RESULTS: Average age at onset was 10 years (range, 4-18 years). Average length of symptoms was 21 months (range, 3-48 months). Thirteen of the 15 patients (87%) had myringotomy tube placement prior to diagnosis of myringitis, and 11 had a previous perforation (73%). Eleven myringoplasties were performed on 8 (53%) patients prior to the onset of granular myringitis (5 fascia, 2 fat, 2 cartilage, 1 paper patch, and 1 at an outside hospital that was unknown). A total of 27 otolaryngologic surgical procedures were done on 14 of 15 patients. Ten patients (67%) had audiometry performed, and 6 (40%) had ear cultures. Medical treatment included ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone otic drops in all patients, oral antibiotics in 4 patients, and additional topical agents in 8 patients. Two patients had laser resurfacing, and 1 patient had surgical curettage. Five patients had long-term remission, 8 had intermittent remission, and 2 had no remission of their symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Granular myringitis is a chronic, recalcitrant disease typically preceded by myringotomy and tube placement or myringoplasty/tympanoplasty. Medical and surgical intervention is varied and often does not lead to permanent resolution of the disease.
