This paper deals with an otitis media in children which was seen frequent in the Fukuchiyama region from 1951 to 1952. It was first reported by Dr. Yutaro Nishigaki in Fukuchiyama City and then observed by Dr. Masaich Takino of Gunze Hospital in Ayabe adjoining Fukuchiyama.We examined 65 patients at Dr. Nishigaki's request and carried out mastoid operations on 13 ears of 11 patients. The clinical features of the disease were similar to the otitis media which is now called otitis media with effusion (OME). The age of the patients, otoscopic appearance, operative and histopathologic findings and results of bacteriological and virological examinations are described on the basis of Asai's paper which was read at the Annual Meeting of the Otorhinolaryngological Society of Japan in 1953.In Japan, the incidence of OME has increased since the 1970's, and there are many clinical and etiological problems. We hope that the this information about numerous cases of OME in the early 1950's will provide significant insight into the pathogenesis of the disease.
