“…However, some evidence exists implicating craniomandibular and neuromuscular factors in the etiology of ETD. Cleft palates, high palatal vaults [7], and long, narrow facial growth patterns [8] have each been shown to be associated with middle ear disease. In addition, Bylander et al [9] reported a decrease in ET muscle function in children with otitis media with effusion.…”

“…This finding is supported by other authors, who have also found a . Other studies found different results 12,13 , with a vertical facial pattern (dolicofacial) seen in individuals with Eustachian Tube dysfunction. However, in those studies the enlargement of pharyngeal and palatine tonsils was not determined, and this may have influenced the results, as well as the sample itself.…”

Abnormalities in craniofacial morphology are associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction and otitis media with effusion (OME). Aim: to evaluate the relationship between facial pattern and craniofacial growth direction, and OME in children with enlarged tonsils and adenoids (ETA). Methods: Clinical prospective survey in 79 children (41 male and 38 female), ranging from 4 to 10 years of age, with tonsil and adenoid enlargement (Brodsky's grades III and IV). Forty children presented with OME (study group) and 39 did not (control group). Cephalometric analysis was used to determine the facial pattern. Results: There was no correlation observed between facial pattern and OME (c 2 = 0.25 p = 0.88). Facial Axis was larger in the OME group (F(1.75) = 3.68 p = 0.05) and the Lower Anterior Facial height was smaller (F(1. 75) = 3.99 p = 0.05) in children with otitis media with effusion. Conclusions: There was no correlation between OME and facial pattern in children with ETA although a more horizontal facial growth direction, and a smaller lower anterior facial height was observed consistently among subjects in this group. This suggests that abnormal positioning of the eustachian tube influences the development of OME in children with ETA.

“…The rationale of our present investigation has arisen from the reports of Plester [30] and Mann et al [31] who believed that tubal dysfunction was strongly influenced by the growth processes of the skull. In fact Plester [30] found -on lateral cephalometric radiographs -that the angle between the posterior border of the hard palate, the clinoid processes and the clivus, was narrower in adults with cholesteatoma than in adults with extended pneumatization of the temporal bones.…”

Morphological changes of the middle ear were investigated by means of microotoscopy and scanning electron microscopy in 40 developing Albino rats. In 20 one nostril (group B) and in 20 both nostrils (group C) had been experimentally obstructed. 20 rats were used as controls (group A). Microotoscopy and scanning electron microscopy on the middle ear mucosa were performed when the animals were 2 months old, i.e. at 90% of their development. At microotoscopy the tympanic membranes, homolateral to the obstructed nostril, proved to be abnormal in 81% of group B rats and in almost all rats belonging to group C. Scanning electron microscopy, performed after the bullae had been removed, showed the following epithelial surface changes of the middle ear homolaterally to the obstructed nostril: (a) a significant increase of nonciliated elements with a secretory behavior as compared to controls, even of the floor where normally a large number of ciliated cells is present; (b) several ciliated cells were destroyed and their cilia were irregular and untidy; (c) thick mucous secretions covered the floor of the tympanic bulla; and (d) squamous metaplasia of the hypotympanic epithelium. Extrarotation of the eustachian tubes and developmental abnormalities of the skull base in growing rats, caused by nasal obstruction, seem to be able to induce pathological events of the middle ear.
