Sinonasal Inflammatory Burden on Computed Tomography in Adults With Obstructive Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: A Case–Control Study

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) frequently coexist, yet objective data quantifying their relationship remain scarce. Because both conditions can reflect shared mucosal inflammation, we investigated whether adults with objectively verified ETD harbor a larger paranasal sinus inflammatory burden on

Mastoid Surgery Does Not Normalize Tympanometric Middle Ear Pressure in Children With Cholesteatoma

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 6, Page 2719-2726, June 2026.
Conflicting mechanism‐based hypotheses have been used to promote selection of different approaches to management of the mastoid in order to optimize middle ear pressure homeostasis after removal of cholesteatoma. For example: (a) conservation of mastoid mucosa and opening of ventilation pathways endoscopically to normalize function, (b) removal of ...
