To clarify the etiological role of adenoids in OME, the effects of adenoidectomy on hearing, Eustachian tube function and nasal sinusitis were examined. Adenoids were found to have no influence on tubal opening pressure or patency of the Eustachian tube in a static condition. Active function of the tube during swallowing, however, was improved significantly by adenoidectomy. In addition, adenoidectomy improved nasal sinusitis, and in these patients, hearing and active tubal function were satisfactory. These results suggest that adenoidectomy cures OME partly via improvement of pathological conditions of the nasopharynx represented by nasal sinusitis.
