Abstract

Otitis media is a multifaceted pathology, and, therefore, its complete understanding can only be achieved through analysis and meticulous study of each of its small facets. These studies will have to be skilled enough to dissect the individual aspects of this disease without, however, denying the fact that they are organically and evolutionarily interconnected. Analogously, it would be as if we tried to understand a chain by examining only one of its links and extrapolating that to include every form of the disease. For this reason, we will dedicate the next paragraphs to dive deeper into the basic science concepts that we consider essential for addressing issues relevant to the etiology, classification, pathogenesis, and treatment of this prevalent disease.
