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 کاملUncommon aetiology for autophony: patulous eustachian tube.
We report the case of a patient with autophony diagnosed with a patulous Eustachian tube. The patient was treated according to the technique described by Bluestone and Cantekin, inserting an indwelling catheter into the tube. Good results were obtained after one year of monitoring.
متن کاملUncommon Aetiology for Autophony: Patulous Eustachian Tube
We present the case of a 38-year-old male in treatment for morbid obesity for 6 years, who had lost 20 kg of weight in the previous 12 months and who attended consultation after being assessed by 3 other professionals. The patient had also undergone placement of a ventilation tube in the left ear due to a sensation described as auditory ‘‘vibration’’ and autophony in the left ear, with 1.5 year...
متن کاملPaper patching of the tympanic membrane as a symptomatic treatment for patulous eustachian tube syndrome.
BACKGROUND Application of one or several paper patches on the tympanic membrane can improve autophony and other symptoms in some patients with a patulous eustachian tube. METHOD The charts of 21 patients treated for patulous eustachian tube syndrome between 2006 and 2011 were studied for subjective improvement of symptoms following the application of paper patches. RESULTS Paper patching of...
متن کاملPREVALENCE OF TRAUMATIC TYMPANIC MEMBRANE PERFORATION IN PATIENTS WITH A PATULOUS EUSTACHIAN TUBE
Background: With respect to physical relations in force and pressure, we hypothesized that the prevalence of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation in patients with a patulous Eustachian tube is greater than normal, because in Eustachian tube patency, the internal air pressure of the middle ear will not increase after compression, subsequent to trauma. Therefore the force upon the tympanic...
