Aim and Purpose
Valsalva CT of temporal bone has been performed in patients with nose
related complaints (11) and patients who would undergo surgery for
chronic ear disease (12). To the best of our knowledge, there is no
study in the literature that patients with clinically-proven PET were
evaluated by Valsalva CT. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the ability of
Valsalva CT in demonstrating patency of ET in its entirety in patients
with symptoms strongly suggestive of PET.
