In 1987-1988 323 children with conduction hypacusia were examined. Among the in 103 secretory otitis media was detected, i.e. 31.8%. The authors defined diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the disease which may cause life-long anatomical and functional damage of the organ of hearing.
In 1984-1987 the authors followed up a selected group of 15 children with a long-standing history of secretory otitis media and latent mastoiditis. In there of them the condition was complicated by labyrinthitis. Mastoidectomy which was performed in 12 children contributed to the healing of chronic inflammatory changes in the middle ear.

In the period 1973-1982 241 children with nasal injuries were treated in ORL Clinics in Prague-Motol. The pathological septal findings were confirmed at the time by rhinoscopy in 98 cases (40%). In these cases, deviation, subluxation, or fracture were found 73 times, subperichondrial abscess 12 times, and hematoma 13 times. At the time of control examination 2-10 years after the injury, the unfavourable effects of the injury on the septum or the nasal passage were confirmed. Deviation of the septum was found in 55% of children; bad or insufficient rhinomanometric values in 62%. The septal deviation was associated with snoring in 52%, with colds in 56%, and in 37% with bronchitis and sinusitis. It was found necessary to carry out surgical correction of the nasal septum in several children of the 10-12 year age group; rhinotomy was not deemed necessary in any case.

In 1976-1978 there were 15 children hospitalized in the Children's ORL Clinics in Prague and treated for larynx trauma caused by long-term endotracheal intubation. Tracheostomy was performed in all cases, the changes in the larynx were mostly treated in a conservative manner. In one instance we used laryngofissura; however, further dilatations had to be carried out. With a single exception, all the patients have been healed successfully. Plastic operations were performed to make decannulation easier.

One hundred and twenty-six children with purulent otitis media were examined virologically at the Children's Otorhinolaryngological Clinic in Prague. Viral infection was established in 60, i.e. 47,8% of the patients, the evidence being isolation of virus in 25 and seroconversion in 35 children. In respect of the clinical course, the main findings were asymptomatology and nonspecificity of the cases of established viral etiology.
