To review the diagnosis of patulous Eustachian tube (PET) based on the diagnostic criteria for the PET proposed by Japan Otological Society (JOS).
We reviewed typical aural symptoms of PET, Eustachian tube (ET) obstruction procedure to confirm diagnosis of PET, objective findings of a patent ET obtainable from observation of the movement of the tympanic membrane, and by ET function tests (tubo-tympano-aerodynamic graphy, sonotubometry). In addition, usefulness of other tests such as patulous Eustachian tube handicap inventory-10 (PHI-10), sonotubometry with postural change (Ohta method), and sitting computed tomography (CT) to diagnose PET is described.
We have described the diagnosis of PET based on the diagnostic criteria for PET proposed by JOS; PHI-10, Ohta method, and sitting CT are also useful for the diagnosis of PET. Further investigation is needed for an accurate diagnosis and precise evaluation of the pathophysiology of this challenging disease.
根据日本耳科学会（JOS）提出的咽鼓管异常开放（PET）诊断标准，对PET的诊断进行综述。
我们回顾了PET的典型耳部症状、用于确诊PET的咽鼓管（ET）阻塞程序、通过观察鼓膜运动以及ET功能测试（咽鼓管-鼓室空气动力学描记法、声导抗咽鼓管测量法）获得的ET通畅的客观表现。此外，还描述了其他测试方法，如咽鼓管异常开放障碍量表-10（PHI-10）、姿势改变声导抗咽鼓管测量法（太田法）以及坐位计算机断层扫描（CT）在诊断PET中的作用。
我们根据JOS提出的PET诊断标准描述了PET的诊断；PHI-10、太田法和坐位CT对PET的诊断也很有用。对于这种具有挑战性的疾病，需要进一步研究以进行准确诊断和对其病理生理学进行精确评估。
