Abstract
Purpose: This paper aimed to investigation of morphological changes of Eustachian tube (ET) function in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 41 patient with chronic rhinosinusitis at ENT department, Hue Central Hospital. Sonotubometry test was performed to assess the ET opening duration time and the sound wave amplitude.
Results: There were 85.4% of normal ET function, 12.2% ET dysfunction. The difference was statistically significant in the duration time of ET opening and wave amplitude in patients with a history of allergic rhinitis, tinnitus and abnormalities nasal mucosa (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: We identified significant correlations between ET dysfunction and chronic rhinosinusitis.
