Abstract:
The patulous eustachian tube is not a common otorhinolaryngological disease, for which a standard therapy is not established yet. It is considered benign, but symptoms affecting the patient should not be overlooked or ignored. Using an acellular dermal graft (Collagen), we gained positive results in treating a patient, and thus report this case with a review of the literature.
