 Eustachian tube ET comprises an osseous intratemporal portion and a cartilaginous nasopharyngeal portion. It functions in pressure equalization, middle ear protection and clearance. Eustachian tube function can be adversely affected by viral and bacterial infections, adenoid disease, craniofacial anomalies, neoplasm, genetic predisposition, sinonasal disease and gastroesophageal reflux, leading to Eustachian tube dysfunction. Eustachian tuboplasty by balloon dilation involves the recanalization of the cartilaginous portion of the ET via the nasopharynx with a balloon catheter. This catheter is inflated to multiple atmospheres of pressure for a short amount of time and then removed.
