    Abstract:
    This publication continues the preceding paper entitled "Early diagnostics of the retraction pockets in the tympanic membrane of the children". The objective of the present work was to develop the criteria for the objective estimation of the dynamic state of the retraction pockets (RP) in the children at different stages of excudative otitis media. The secondary objective was to develop an approach to the early diagnostics of cholesteatoma of the middle ear. A group of 138 children at the age varying from 1 to 17 years was placed under dynamic observation for the purpose of drawing up the individual "photo-roentgenological passport of the retraction pockets". Special attention was given to RP-semiotics of different forms of the syndrome and its severity in accordance with the classification universally accepted by foreign researchers. The results of the dynamic observations were used to develop the indications for the early preserving surgical treatment. It was given to 16 children six of which presented with cholesteatoma. The original illustrative materials for all variants of the retraction pockets are presented.
