Eustachian tube function in patients with eosinophilic otitis media associated with bronchial asthma evaluated by sonotubometry.
OBJECTIVE To determine eustachian tube function in patients with asthma and with or without eosinophilic otitis media (EOM), a new middle ear disease entity with a highly viscous middle ear effusion containing many eosinophils and usually associated with bronchial asthma. One of the most important causes of otitis media (OM) is eustachian tube dysfunction. DESIGN Retrospective case review. ...
متن کاملEustachian Tube Opening Measurement by Sonotubometry Using Perfect Sequences for Healthy Adults
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to establish the rate variation of sonotubometric measurements using a specific broadband class of signals, the so-called perfect sequences (PSEQ) among healthy adults and to identify an optimal and technically simple test to provoke Eustachian tube (ET) openings. METHODS Sonotubometry was performed on 105 healthy adult subjects. Three different consecutiv...
متن کاملCorrelations between videoendoscopy and sonotubometry of eustachian tube opening during a swallow.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Describe the relationship between the magnitude of eustachian tube (ET) dilation during swallowing observed on transnasal videoendoscopy and quantified by sonotubometry. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive observational study. METHODS Simultaneous transnasal videoendoscopic and sonotubometric recordings were done on 33 adults with no middle ear disease. Briefly, microphones were ...
متن کاملSonotubometry: a useful tool to measure intra-individual changes in eustachian tube ventilatory function.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether intra-individual changes in eustachian tube (ET) function induced by local application of a histamine phosphate solution can be detected using an improved sonotubometer. DESIGN The function of the ET was measured with a revised sonotubometer before and after histamine was applied to the nasopharyngeal ostium of the ET. SETTING Tertiary referral hospital. PAT...
متن کاملRelationship between the electromyographic activity of the paratubal muscles and eustachian tube opening assessed by sonotubometry and videoendoscopy.
OBJECTIVE To determine the role played by the tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini muscles (mTVP and mLVP, respectively) in eustachian tube (ET) opening. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Research laboratories at a tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS Fifteen healthy adults with normal middle ears and documented ET openings. INTERVENTIONS Submental and ground surface electrodes we...
