Permanent occlusion of the Eustachian tube: a retrospective study on reopening procedures
This study retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and versatility of reopening procedures for the permanent occlusion of the cartilaginous Eustachian tube (POET) by analyzing four consecutive cases.MethodsThe study included all patients diagnosed with POET who suffered from Eustachian tube occlusion and glue ear. A combined approach of endoscopic transnasal/transoral laser surgery was utilized to reopen the POET. This was subsequently followed by balloon dilation (BET) and stenting for a duration of six weeks. In one distinct case, the Eustachian tube orifice was approached via a transtympanic method, where a balloon cathe...

Chronic otorrhea and osteomyelitis of the external auditory canal by Achromobacter xylosoxidans: an uncommon diagnosis
ConclusionsAtypical pathogens such asA. xylosoxidans can be the cause of chronic otitis externa. Early diagnosis and specific antibiotherapy can prevent the development of further complications, such as osteomyelitis. In these cases, otic cultures play an essential role to identify the causal germ. This is the first case of EAC osteomyelitis due toA. xylosoxidans reported to date.
