이관질환의 치료 = Treatment of Eustachian Tube Disorder

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The patients with Eustachian tube disorder could complain of various symptoms, such as earfullness, tinnitus, hearing disturbance, otalgia, or autophony. It is important to accurately diagnose the disease and choose appropriate treatment method to prevent further complaints or complications from the disorder. For all types of Eustachian tube dysfunction, conservative therapy should be the first choice, especially when duration of the symptom is short or transient. Even if the symptoms do not improve and persist, surgical therapy could be considered. For the dilatory Eustachian tube dysfunction, surgical therapy includes ventilation tube insertion, adenoidectomy, and balloon Eustachian tuboplasty. For the patulous eustachian tube dysfunction, there are various surgical methods: ventilation tube insertion, mass loading on the tympanic membrane, invasive Eustachian tuboplasty, injection to nasopharyngeal Eustachian tube orifice, trans-tympanic or trans-nasal catheter insertion, and trans-tympanic silicone plug insertion. It is important to select the appropriate treatment methods according to the degree of improvement of symptoms.
