  • Title: Recurrent meningitis secondary to perilymph fistula in young children.
    Author: MacRae DL, Ruby RR.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1990 Jun; 19(3):222-5. PubMed ID: 2355416.
    Abstract:
    All young children treated for meningitis should have post-treatment evoked potential audiometry. If neurosensory hearing loss is identified, the clinician should be alerted to the possibility of a perilymph fistula as the cause of the meningitis. Radiology of the inner ear and possibly exploratory tympanotomy may be necessary to rule out a perilymph fistula. Two young children with meningitis secondary to perilymph fistula are presented to illustrate the problems of diagnosis and management.
