Summary

The Toynbee phenomenon can cause middle ear tube dysfunction when nasal packing is in place after septal surgery. This study measured ear pressure to confirm its role in nasal obstruction complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Physiology

Context:

  • Nasal packing is frequently used after septal deviation surgery.
  • Middle ear pressure monitoring is crucial for understanding auditory tube function.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the role of the Toynbee phenomenon in middle ear tube dysfunction.
  • To correlate nasopharyngeal pressure changes with middle ear pressure during nasal packing.

Summary:

  • Middle ear pressure was measured in 35 patients undergoing septal deviation surgery with nasal packing.
  • Results were compared to nasopharyngeal pressure gradients during the Toynbee maneuver.
  • Findings suggest the Toynbee phenomenon is a significant factor in tube dysfunction during nasal obstruction.

Impact:
