Objectives: To review the diagnosis of patulous Eustachian tube (PET) based on the diagnostic criteria for the PET proposed by Japan Otological Society (JOS). Methods: We reviewed typical aural symptoms of PET, Eustachian tube (ET) obstruction procedure to confirm diagnosis of PET, objective findings of a patent ET obtainable from observation of the movement of the tympanic membrane, and by ET function tests (tubo-tympano-aerodynamic graphy, sonotubometry). In addition, usefulness of other tests such as patulous Eustachian tube handicap inventory-10 (PHI-10), sonotubometry with postural change (Ohta method), and sitting computed tomography (CT) to diagnose PET is described. Results and Conclusions: We have described the diagnosis of PET based on the diagnostic criteria for PET proposed by JOS; PHI-10, Ohta method, and sitting CT are also useful for the diagnosis of PET. Further investigation is needed for an accurate diagnosis and precise evaluation of the pathophysiology of this challenging disease.

This article presents 2 cases of extremely intractable patulous Eustachian tube following multiple transnasal shim insertion. These cases highlight the disadvantages of repeat transnasal shim operations, including enlargement of the Eustachian tube lumen, frequent dislocation, repeat surgery, recurrent middle ear infection, and shim misswallowing. The patients in these cases were successfully treated with Eustachian tube cartilage chip insertion through a postauricular approach. We describe the surgical technique and advantages of this promising management method.

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to analyse if there were any associations between patulous Eustachian tube occurrence and climatic factors and seasonality. Methods The correlation between the monthly average number of patients diagnosed with patulous Eustachian tube and climatic factors in Seoul, Korea, from January 2010 to December 2016, was statistically analysed using national data sets. Results The relative risk for patulous Eustachian tube occurrence according to season was significantly higher in summer and autumn, and lower in winter than in spring (relative risk (95 per cent confidence interval): 1.334 (1.267–1.404), 1.219 (1.157–1.285) and 0.889 (0.840–0.941) for summer, autumn and winter, respectively). Temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity had a moderate positive (r = 0.648), negative (r = –0.601) and positive (r = 0.492) correlation with the number of patulous Eustachian tube cases, respectively. Conclusion The number of patulous Eustachian tube cases was highest in summer and increased in proportion to changes in temperature and humidity, which could be due to physiological changes caused by climatic factors or diet trends.

Highlight 1.  Patients with patulous Eustachian tube (PET) were older, had a shorter duration of disease, and were more likely to develop bilateral otitis media with effusion. 2. Patients with PET were more likely to develop comorbidities of gastroesophageal reflux and allergies.
