ICD-11 code : AA82;
Preferred Label : Chronic serous or mucoid otitis media;
ICD-11 definition : Chronic serous or mucoid otitis media is probably the most common form of sub-acute
middle ear disease found in the developed world. It typically lingers following otitis
media, when the fluid in the ear, formed by the infection, does not clear spontaneously.
The tympanic membrane is intact but the middle ear is liquid- fluid filled. This presumably
puts the middle ear at risk for further infection and often worsens hearing by about
30 dB. This is most frequently found in children and can interfere with language acquisition
and learning.;
ICD-11 synonym : chronic nonsuppurative otitis media with serous effusion; Chronic serous or mucoid otitis media with effusion; Chronic serous or mucoid otitis media with transudative; Chronic serous or mucoid otitis media with exudative; Seromucinous otitis media; Chronic serous or mucoid otitis media with nonpurulent effusion;
