Electromyographic study of tensor and levator veli palatini muscles in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma implications for eustachian tube dysfunction

Background and Methods. To research the pathophysiology of the Eustachian tube (ET), electromyographies (EMG) of the tensor and levator veli palatini muscles (TVP and LVP) in 46 fresh specimens of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were studied.
