LYMPHOID eustachian salpingitis, or lymphoid tubotympanitis, may be defined as any lymphoid hyperplasia in or about the eustachian tube which interferes with the physiologic opening of the tube and produces symptoms referable to the middle ear. It is usually associated with a chronic catarrhal inflammatory process.

Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a commonly diagnosed disorder of Eustachian tube opening and closure, which may be associated with severe symptoms and middle ear disease.

Balloon dilation is a tuboplasty procedure intended to improve the patency of the cartilaginous eustachian tube. During the procedure, a saline-filled balloon catheter is introduced into the eustachian tube through the nose using a minimally invasive transnasal endoscopic method.
