Abstract

ENT, neck and face disorders are usually benign, but can often be grafted to complications with after-effects that affect the child's psychomotor development, with serious school and social consequences. The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of ENT, neck and face disorders in children aged 0 to 14 in the ENT department of the Gabriel Touré University Hospital Centre (UHC) in Bamako. This was a prospective descriptive study conducted from September 1 to November 30, 2021. The results show that the prevalence of ENT, neck and face disorders in children aged 0 to 14 years was 14.53% of department consultations during our study period. Males predominated with 53.07% of cases, a sex ratio of 1.6. The 0-4 age group was best represented, with 49.01% of cases. Otalgia was the most frequent reason for consultation, accounting for 38.60% of cases. Acute otitis media (AOM) was the most common pathology with 24.30% of cases, followed by nasopharyngitis with 17.40%. Otological conditions accounted for the majority, with 58.29% of cases. Otological conditions were followed by naso-sinus conditions with 26.57% of cases, and pharyngolaryngeal conditions with 14% of cases. ENT, neck and face infections are frequent in children. This frequency, linked to immune learning, has repercussions on social and school life. Early treatment can help reduce the morbidity of these conditions.
