%X <b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Objective:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> To study the clinical
and therapeutic epidemiological profile of chronic purulent otorrhea in the ENT
and CCF department</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> of the Gabriel Tour¨¦ university hospital. <b>Materials
and Method:</b> This was a retrospective study from May 2019 to April 2021. We
made an exhaustive sampling of all patients who consulted for chronic purulent
otorrhea with a complete medical file. All ages were included (except from 0 to </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">- </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">5 years), </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">and </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">all sexes combined. The data medium was the
patient records and the department¡¯s operating report register. The
non-inclusion criteria were patients with incomplete files and patients who
were less than 5 years old. <b>Results:</b> In total</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> we collected 135 cases. The average age of our
patients was 29.27 years. The most represented age group was 16 to 25 years
old. We noted a male predominance in 60.7%. The associated signs found were
hearing loss, earache, tinnitus, ear pruritus, vertigo, headache and facial
paralysis. The main pathology involved is chronic otitis media (CMO) in 55.5%,
the most serious of which is dangerous chronic otitis (8.1%). All of our
patients have received medical treatment. The treatment was surgical in 64% of
patients after medical treatment. With the mean follow-up of 6 months, tinnitus
and reperforation were the most common complications found in 6.2% and 3.1%
respectively.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> <b>Conclusion:</b> Chronic purulent otorrhea is the most
common ear discharge in ENT consultation. The main pathology involved is CMO,
the most formidable of which is cholesteatoma. Medico-surgical treatment.
