Two Cases of Free Fat Graft at Patulous Eustachian Tube / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Previously the patulous eustachian tube has been regarded as troublesome but benign condition. Recently some cases have been reported in conjunction with middle ear complications. In spite of its intractability, pathophysiology and specific therapy for this condition has not been fully investigated. We experienced two cases of abnormally patulous eustachian tube, the 23-year-old patient who complained autophonia and the 36-year-old female patient who complained autophonia with tinnitus, and they were treated with autologous free fat injection. We report these cases with a brief review of the literatures.
