title: [Relation between the Toynbee phenomenon and tube dysfunction].
abstract: The effect of the Toynbee phenomenon in patients with nasal packing was studied. Nasal packing was used in 35 patients admitted for surgical correction of septal deviation. Middle ear pressure was measured during nasal packing and the results were compared with nasopharyngeal pressure gradients recorded during the Toynbee maneuver. The aim of the study was to demonstrate that one of the main causes of tube dysfunction during nasal obstruction is the Toynbee phenomenon.
