Eustachian tube abnormal openness

Introduction

Introduction to Eustachian Tube Abnormal Opening The eustachian tube is normally closed, and it is opened only when swallowing, yawning, opening the mouth and blowing nose, and performing gas exchange in the tympanic chamber. If the pharyngeal muscles are paralyzed and atrophied, the pharyngeal opening is often open and the symptoms are caused, which is called abnormal eustachian tube opening. The diet should be light and nutritious. Eat more vegetables, fruits, milk, turtles and other rich in amino acids, vitamins, protein and digestible nourishing food. Eat less greasy foods; eat less warm food such as dog meat and lamb; eat less shellfish, bamboo shoots, clams and other allergic "hair products"; eat less beverages containing chemicals, preservatives, additives and Snacks. Do not eat too acidic, too spicy, too salty and other irritants. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.03% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: insomnia

Cause

Epilepsy tube abnormal open cause

1. The soft tissue defect around the pharynx of the eustachian tube, scar adhesion, atrophy and muscle paralysis, etc., such as atrophic rhinitis, pharyngitis, atrophy of the nasopharyngeal mucosa after radiotherapy and myasthenia gravis.

2. Mental factors are excessively nervous, causing the muscles to be in a state of tonic contraction.

Prevention

Eustachian tube abnormal openness prevention

2. Regulate emotions, not excessive tension, fatigue.

Complication

Eustachian tube abnormal opening complications Complications insomnia

Can have both fatigue, dizziness, insomnia and other symptoms.

Symptom

Eustachian tube abnormal open symptoms Symptoms Tinnitus

According to the medical history, physical signs, diagnosis is not difficult, incomplete closure and intermittent symptoms are more difficult to diagnose, feasible acoustic impedance test, can detect the wave-shaped impedance map when forced breathing.

1. Bass tinnitus, synchronized with respiratory frequency, speaking, mouth opening, aggravation when swallowing, lying flat, bending down and lowering, closing the mouth to relieve the nose, so the patient from time to time to take a nasal movement, sometimes silent and do not want to speak.

Examine

Eustachian tube abnormal opening examination

Functional examination: normal hearing or mild conductive sputum; eustachian tube function measurement, tympanic membrane smoothness value increased, tympanic pressure curve is over-shaped, visible wavy pressure curve during breathing.

Diagnosis
