  • Title: Syndrome of recurrent meninigitis due to congenital perilymph fistula with two different clinical presentations.
    Author: Rupa V, Rajshekhar V, Weider DJ.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 2000 Aug 31; 54(2-3):173-7. PubMed ID: 10967391.
    Abstract:
    Recurrent meningitis secondary to a congenital labyrinthine anomaly is a rare clinical entity, diagnosis of which is dependent upon certain clinical, radiological and intraoperative features. In the following report we describe two children with congenital labyrinthine fistula and recurrent meningitis whose clinical presentation, radiological features and intraoperative findings were dissimilar and thus, illustrative of two different ways of presentation of this rare disorder. While one had a classical Mondini defect and unilateral hearing loss, the other had normal audiometric and radiographic findings. The fistulae were successfully closed via a tympanotomy approach in both the patients.
