1
All 8 patients after radical operation had unpassable auditorytube.
2
Comprehensive morphological and functional evaluation of the auditorytube becomes possible within a single examination'.
3

Non-contrast computer tomograms showed air in the lumen of the bone part of the auditorytube of all the examinees.
5
Conclusions: The introduced MRI protocol allow visualization of the opening of the auditorytube and provides detailed anatomical information of the nasopharynx.
