Abstract
Twenty-three patients suffering from secretory otitis media were examined. The mean age of the group was 6 years. Adenoidectomy and insertion of polyethylene tympanostomy tubes was made. The tubal function was studied by measuring the middle ear pressure on the morning after operation and once a month during the following five months by using the air pressure equilibration technique. In 23 ears (79%) the pressure was considered to be normal and in 10 ears (30%) abnormal at the first measurement. After 5 months the corresponding groups were 26 (79%) and 7 (21%).Keywords
