Abstract
The present paper reports on the results of a retrospective study using 678 Hz susceptance-conductance tympanometry performed on abnormally high admittant middle ears. High admittance was proven to be caused by (partial) disruption or lysis of the ossicular chain. Retrospective analysis shows that 678 Hz tympanometry seems to be more accurate in the differential diagnosis of ossicular chain disruptions compared to CT-imaging of the ossicular chain (88% versus 81% correct identification respectively). Classic tympanometry using a probe frequency of 226 Hz was abnormal in only 43% of the cases.
期刊介绍：
Throughout its history, the Royal Belgian Society of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, the home society of B-ENT, aims to disseminate both the scientific and the clinical knowledge of otorhinolaryngology field primarily in Belgium and its regions. In accordance with this aim, publishing a scientific journal has become the number one objective of the Society. Accordingly, B-ENT contributes to the scientific memory of Belgium considering its deep-rooted history.
