Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of patulous eustachian tube were discussed with review of the literature. In addition, some new findings from the author's group related to this difficult disorder were presented.<br>We have used 3-dimensional reconstruction of the computed tomography (3D-CT) of the eustachian tube lumen to detect very severe cases of the patulous eustachian tube. The new treatment of the intractable patulous eustachian tube developed by us, transtympanic plugging of the eustachian tube with a specially designed silicone plug, was found very useful to the cases in which various conservative treatment had been ineffective.
