The influence of growth on tubal function was studied in 26 children by means of tubal function tests in a pressure chamber and by geometric analysis of lateral cephalograms. Good tubal function coincided with mesoor brachycephalic skeletons, poor tubal function with dolichocephalic morphologic patterns. According to our results, tubal function seems to be strongly influenced by the growth processes of the skull.
