A retrospective analysis of 35 skull base patients with no history of eustachian tube dysfunction who had magnetic resonance imaging at our institution between 2006 and 2007 was conducted. The fat pad of Ostmann surface area, the eustachian tube medial cartilage, and the tensor veli palatini muscle surface area were measured in all scans. The change in anatomic structures with age was compared and showed no parameter changes except for the Ostmann fat pad, which decreased in size with age (correlation coefficient = 0.0629). There was no statistical significance between males and females in all parameters.
回顾性分析了 2006 年至 2007 年在我院行磁共振成像检查且无咽鼓管功能障碍病史的 35 例颅底患者。所有扫描均测量 Ostmann 表面面积脂肪垫、咽鼓管中鼻甲软骨和腭帆张肌表面面积。比较年龄变化的解剖结构，除 Ostmann 脂肪垫随年龄缩小（相关系数=0.0629）外，无其他参数变化。所有参数在男性和女性之间均无统计学差异。
