RESUMENLa trompa patulosa es aquella trompa de Eustaquio que permanece permanentemente abierta y se asocia a ciertas condiciones como baja de peso y embarazo, entre otras, que tienen como denominador común la pérdida de tejido en la porción cartilaginosa de la tuba auditiva (trompa de Eustaquio). Tiene manifestaciones clínicas diversas, siendo la autofonía la principal de ellas. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica, examen físico y un alto grado de sospecha por parte del examinador. Para esto, es indispensable el examen clínico mediante otoscopía e idealmente endoscopía nasal, eventualmente se requiere de otras técnicas, cuya utilidad está aún en investigación. Desde su reconocimiento como entidad clínica se han intentado diversos tratamientos médico-quirúrgicos, con resultados también diversos. Por este motivo, se requiere una evaluación de cada paciente en particular para definir su manejo específico. Esperamos con este artículo, presentar una revisión actualizada de la literatura acerca de una patología de importancia creciente, con énfasis en las alternativas de tratamiento que han demostrado mayor efectividad.Palabras clave. Tuba auditiva, trompa patulosa, autofonía, disfunción tubaria. ABSTRACTA patulous auditory tube is a condition in which the Eustachian tube remains constantly open, and it is associated to certain conditions such as weight loss and pregnancy, among others, which have in common tissue loss in the cartilaginous portion of the Eustachian tube. Its clinical manifestations are varied, the main one being autophony. Diagnosis is based on clinical history and physical examination. For the health professional to suspect the condition, an otoscopy and ideally a nasal endoscopy are necessary. Eventually, other diagnosing techniques may be required, but their usefulness is still under discussion. Since its acceptance as a clinical entity, several surgical and medical treatments have been tried, with varied results. For this reason, each patient should be individually evaluated in order to decide a specific management. We present an updated literature review of a pathology of increasing importance, emphasizing the treatment alternatives that have demonstrated to be more effective.
