Update on eustachian tube dysfunction and the patulous eustachian tube.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent knowledge on eustachian tube dysfunction and the patulous eustachian tube. RECENT FINDINGS A clinically useful test for eustachian tube function is still lacking. Narrowing of the isthmus alone was demonstrated to be an insufficient cause of otitis media. Inflammatory mediators identified within the eustachian tube and mi...
متن کاملTests of Eustachian tube function: a review.
BACKGROUND Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is a common but poorly understood cause of patient symptoms, and an important aetiological factor in the development of middle ear pathology. Despite this, there are no specific tests of ET function in widespread clinical use and no identified 'gold standard' with which to diagnose the disease. OBJECTIVE This review aims to review the literature to ...
متن کاملEffect of central inset pharyngeal flap for velopharyngeal insufficiency on eustachian tube function.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the central inset pharyngeal flap, used for correcting persistent velopharyngeal incompetence after cleft palate repair, on Eustachian tube (ET) function. METHODS This study included 28 patients who were diagnosed with persistent velopharyngeal insufficiency following primary cleft palate repair, together with otitis medi...
متن کاملRunning Title: Eustachian tube mechanics The Effect of Surface Tension and Surfactant Administration on Eustachian Tube Mechanics
The development of Otitis media has been related to abnormal Eustachian tube (ET) mechanics. The ET is a collapsible tube that is periodically opened to regulate middle ear (ME) pressure and clear ME fluid into the nasopharynx. The ability to perform these physiological functions depends on several mechanical properties including the ET’s opening pressure (Popen), compliance (ETC), and hysteres...
متن کاملTuboimpedance: A New Test of Eustachian Tube Function.
Objective Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is most frequently caused by a failure of the ET to adequately open; however, there is currently no reliable method of assessing this. Tubomanometry has recently shown good interindividual repeatability as a measure of ET function by measuring middle ear pressure after the application of regulated nasopharyngeal pressures during swallowing. We present ...
