[Tubal function: pressure balance function versus mucociliary clearance].
Presenting the results obtained in a group of 82 ears suffering from C.O.M. The AA. check the equilibratory function through manometry and the tubotympanic mucociliary clearance by means of a saccharine solution. The studied parameters showed frequent variations though independently. Nevertheless a certain degree of parallelism between the two is suggested.
