The signs of Tornwaldt's disease, such as postnasal discharge, increase of mucous secretion, dysfunction of the eustachian tube, sometimes associated with middle-ear infection, are now rarely seen in comparison to the 19th century. In this article, we report about a sign of Tornwaldt's disease which had not been described up to now: A troublesome expiratory whistle. The resection of the bursal wall eliminated this sign. The short-term whistle as the only sign of Tornwaldt's disease, without histological signs of inflammation, underlines Tornwaldt's idea that inflammation is a secondary reaction of nasopharyngeal cysts.
与19世纪相比，托恩瓦尔特病的症状，如鼻后滴漏、黏液分泌增多、咽鼓管功能障碍，有时伴有中耳感染，如今已很少见。在本文中，我们报告了一种迄今尚未被描述的托恩瓦尔特病症状：一种令人烦恼的呼气性哮鸣音。切除黏液囊壁消除了这一症状。作为托恩瓦尔特病唯一症状的短期哮鸣音，且无炎症的组织学迹象，这强化了托恩瓦尔特的观点，即炎症是鼻咽囊肿的继发反应。
