Levenberg Catheterization of the Auditory Tube

Levenberg catheterization of the auditory tube is a method that is used to diagnose and treat diseases of the auditory tube. This method was developed by the French otorhinolaryngologist V.V. Levenberg in 1836.

The auditory tube is a canal that connects the nasal cavity to the middle ear. It plays an important role in maintaining normal pressure in the middle ear and allows sounds to pass from the external environment into the middle ear.

When the Eustachian tube becomes blocked or inflamed, it can lead to hearing loss and other hearing problems. Levenberg catheterization of the auditory tube allows you to assess the condition of the auditory tube and identify possible problems.

To carry out this procedure, a special catheter is used, which is inserted into the auditory tube through the nasal passage. The catheter has a small chamber at the end that allows the doctor to assess the condition of the ear canal and identify possible obstructions to the passage of air.

After inserting the catheter, the doctor can begin the procedure. He may use various methods to check the condition of the eustachian tube, such as introducing air into the catheter chamber or injecting medications into the ear canal.

Overall, Levenberg catheterization of the eustachian tube is an effective method for diagnosing and treating many diseases associated with the eustachian tube. However, like any other medical method, it has its contraindications and can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Therefore, you should consult your doctor before undergoing this procedure.



Levineberg, caterization of the acoustic tube is a method used to treat diseases of the middle ear and eustachian tube. This method was proposed by the French otolaryngologist W. W. Loewenberg in 1886.

A problem with the Eustachian tubes occurs as a result of a decrease in their internal lumen or a disruption in the blowing process between the two sides of the Eustachian tubes. During the illness, a person experiences a feeling of stuffiness, weakness or dizziness and tinnitus, as well as difficulty swallowing.

Eustachian tube catheterization refers to endoscopic treatment methods that involve inserting a catheter into the external auditory canal, which creates an artificial canal to overcome obstacles in the Eustachian canal. This method can be used both independently and in
