    Author: Sarac S, Cengel S, Sennaroglu L.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 2006 Jan; 70(1):159-61. PubMed ID: 15985297.
    Abstract:
    Pneumolabyrinth can result from traumatic luxation of stapes into the vestibule. The diagnosis of stapes luxation following a head injury can be delayed especially if the otoscopic examination is within normal limits. Here a 15-year-old girl presenting with vertigo and nystagmus following a blunt head injury was presented, whose computerized tomography revealed air in the vestibule and cochlea (pneumolabyrinth) and stapes was found to be luxated into the vestibule.
