Abstract
- Patulous eustachian tube is a distressing condition for the patient with such symptoms as autophonia and a sensation of fullness in the ear. No specific therapy has been established. We treated two cases by free fat graft using intranasal endoscopy with postoperative topical anticholinergic (ipratropium bromide). The result suggests that this method should be an effective treatment. So we report with review of the literatures.
