Abstract
The observation of an inter-attico-tympanic diaphragm in the middle ear (ME) cleft and the functional histology of the mucosa lead to a concept of ME morpho-functional partition. There are two separate compartments: an antero-inferior one, principally devoted to the muco-ciliary clearance function, and a postero-superior one, more devoted to the gas exchange function. With this concept of partition the mechanisms involved in the pathogeny of "otitis media" can be better understood.
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.
