Pathology of the Eustachian Tube
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1967WE HAVE STUDIED the eustachian tube areas of 400 human temporal bone specimens to gain some insight into the types of pathological change and the significance of these changes in otologic disease. Tubal dysfunction undoubtedly often leads to chronic middle ear disease and furthermore probably is responsible for many of the failures in tympanoplastic ...

Anatomy of the Eustachian Tube
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2016The eustachian tube consists of 2 compartments: the Rüdinger's safety canal and the auxiliary gap. It is surrounded by a cartilaginous wall on the craniomedial side and a membranous wall on the inferolateral side. The eustachian tube cartilage is firmly attached to the skull base by the lateral and the medial suspensory ligaments, which are separated ...

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, 1983Studies 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.

The Anatomy of the Eustachian Tube
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1984Most important for opening/closure mechanisms of the Eustachian tube (ET) in rat is probably the mucosal part with its nasopharyngeal orifice, which consists of two lips of soft tissue. From this part of the tube the tensor veli palatini, the levator veli palatini and the salpingopharyngeus muscles originate.

Evolution of Eustachian Tube Surgery
The Laryngoscope, 2011AbstractEustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common condition that lacks a widely accepted treatment. Attempts to address ETD surgically have spanned several centuries and have often fallen short of success. It is probable that occult anatomic position, unclear function, and misunderstood physiology have contributed to the delayed development of ...

Eustachian Tube in Tympanoplasty
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1960I was hoping that I would hear of some solution to the problem of the Eustachian tube, but so far, I see that you have the same trouble that we have. Let us consider the Eustachian tube before surgery, during surgery, and after surgery. If there is a perforation in the drum, it is not difficult to control the Eustachian tube before surgery.

Physiology of the Eustachian Tube
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1976A method for studying the middle ear mechanics is described. The method permits continuous recording of the volume deviation of the drum in relation to the neutral position, both on change in the ambient pressure and in the pressure in the middle ear. One hundred and two volunteers with normal hearing, i.e., a normal audiogram and normal ear findings ...

Posture and eustachian tube function
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1969It has been well known for a long time that the patency of the Eusta-chian tube is affected by body position, particularly in patients with patulous tubes. The ventilatory capacity of the Eustachian tube was studied quantitatively in subjects with normal tubal function in different postures and during compression of the neck veins.

The Role of the Eustachian Tube in Myringoplasty
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1968The importance of tubal function in the results of myringoplastic operations has been estimated in 72 cases with central ear drum defects as residues after chronic otitis media. The tubal function has been tested pre-operatively with the “aspiration method”.
