  • Title: [Idiopathic perilymph fistula].
    Author: Lu Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Er Bi Yan Hou Ke Za Zhi; 1989; 24(1):15-6, 62. PubMed ID: 2641874.
    Abstract:
    This article presents 6 cases with idiopathic perilymph fistulae. The etiology of idiopathic perilymph fistula may be congenital malformation of the otic capule. Diagnosis of idiopathic perilymph fistula primarily depends on history and exploratory tympanotomy, but ENG-fistula test and positional audiometry are worth of diagnosing. During microsurgical procedure, attention must be paid to the presence of membrane of the round window niche. If a good repair of fistula is not followed by a good result, other lesions such as double labyrinth membrane rupture should be considered.
