Geometric–Statistical Model for Middle-Ear Anatomy and Ventilation
Applied Sciences, 2022 The ventilation of the middle-ear (ME) is achieved by the mucosa covering the bony cavities of this segment, which we have previously defined as consisting of two distinct epithelial areas, each representing an independent organ with characteristic ...

Treatment of middle ear ventilation disorders: sheep as animal model for stenting the human Eustachian tube--a cadaver study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Eustachian tube disorders can lead to chronic otitis media with consecutive conductive hearing loss. To improve treatment and to develop new types of implants such as stents, an adequate experimental animal model is required.

Middle ear ventilation status postoperatively after translabyrinthine resection of vestibular schwannoma with mastoid obliteration and Eustachian tube occlusion: Is the Eustachian tube enough to ventilate the middle ear without the mastoid air cell system? [PDF]
Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2016 Background Gas pressure balance is essential for maintaining normal middle ear function. The mucosal surfaces of the middle ear, the mastoid air cell system (MACS), and the Eustachian tube (ET) play a critical role in this process; however, the extent ...

Middle ear effusion, ventilation tubes and neurological development in childhood.
PLoS ONE, 2023 BackgroundOtitis media with middle ear effusion (MEE) can be treated with ventilation tubes (VT) insertion, and it has been speculated that prolonged MEE in childhood can affect neurological development, which in turn may be important for later academic ...

Risk factors for persistent otitis media with effusion in children: a case-control study [PDF]
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine, 2018 Background Otitis media with effusion (OME) is defined as middle ear effusion without acute signs of infection. OME usually resolves spontaneously; however, persistent OME may require the insertion of a ventilation tube.
