The History of Eustachian Tube Catheterization

It is rather conservative to say that the history of otology is in line with the history of concept development related to Eustachian tube catheterization. Based on the historical book ‘The history of otology’ in 2015 [1], the literature materials from 1724 to 1861, which are related to catheterization of the Eustachian tube, are selected and arranged in this article. There can be some differences between the both in terms of interpretation of the historical significance about them.
