  • Title: [Rupture of the membrane of the round window in stapes fixation].
    Author: Gungl M, Bauer M.
    Journal: HNO; 1987 Nov; 35(11):482-4. PubMed ID: 3692935.
    Abstract:
    A case of sudden deafness is described. Examination showed a mixed deafness on the left side, suspected to be due to fixation of the stapes and a simultaneous perilymph fistula. These lesions were proved by an exploratory tympanotomy. The interesting aspects of the case are emphasized: firstly recruitment caused by a perilymph fistula, present for 5 months without causing complete deafness; secondly improvement of hearing after surgical treatment of both pathological conditions; and finally the complete absence of vestibular signs.
