Eustachian Tube Function

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1968
BECAUSE of the significance of the eustachian tube in modern middle ear surgery, a special clinic concerned with evaluation of the function of the eustachian tube was established some time ago at the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary. This clinic was concerned with research into basic physiological functions of the tube and their alteration by disease ...

The prevalence of eustachian tube dysfunction symptoms in temporomandibular joint disorder patients

The Laryngoscope, 2020
Ear fullness and pressure is a common complaint seen in otolaryngology clinics and frequently is attributed to eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). In addition to traditional tympanometry and physical examination, the seven‐item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Eustachian Tube Lymphatics

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1975
Serous otitis media is the most common cause of hearing impairment. The role of lymphatic obstruction in the pathogenesis of serous otitis media is significant. A method for removal of the human Eustachian tube specimen and two techniques for identification of Eustachian tube lymphatic capillaries are described.

Eustachian tube pathophysiology

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1983
Studies of eustachian tube physiology have mainly focused on the ability of the tube to open. For this reason, impaired opening ability has been regarded as the basis of eustachian tube malfunction. Characteristic patterns have been found in pressure measurements in patients with chronic middle ear disease.
