title: Surgical sequelae of abnormal eustachian tube function.
abstract: Mechanical, neural, and immunologic factors controlling eustachian tube function are discussed in detail. Relationships of normal tubal function to the development of otitis media with effusion and its pathologic sequelae are reviewed.
