Popis:	Septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction is a common operation performed by ear, nose and throat surgeons for obstructive nasal symptoms. We present a case of complete unilateral scarring of the Eustachian tube orifice, a previously unreported complication, following septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction for nasal obstruction. It is important to consider this differential diagnosis in patients presenting with unilateral middle ear effusion postoperatively.
