“The Eustachian (auditory) tube and tympanomastoid cavities form⟳ an anatomic and functional whole that cannot easily be divided, and is therefore known as the "tubotympanic system". The system has been the focus⟳ of several studies, with complex and sometimes contradictory results, making an overview of its functioning difficult to obtain⟳. The objective of the present⟳ article is to review⟳ the current state of knowledge, as an indispensable preliminary to understanding tubotympanic system dysfunction, and notably the development of chronic otitis.”
