There are several types of eustachian tube dysfunction, including obstruction and abnormal patency. This article presents an update on several selected areas of eustachian tube function and dysfunction, including surfactants, cleft palate, tympanic membrane atelectasis, abnormal eustachian tube patency, and long-term middle ear ventilation.
