Labyrinthine fistula secondary to cholesteatoma: a video demonstration

The pressure generated transmits to the inner ear, resulting in stimulation of the vestibular-ocular reflex and therefore the eyes move away but they attempt to revert to their original position.3 We present the case of a 35-year-old man who previously underwent tympanoplasty and canal wall down mas...

Summary:The pressure generated transmits to the inner ear, resulting in stimulation of the vestibular-ocular reflex and therefore the eyes move away but they attempt to revert to their original position.3 We present the case of a 35-year-old man who previously underwent tympanoplasty and canal wall down mastoidectomy 13 years ago. Preoperative audiogram demonstrating significant air-bone gap conductive hearing loss of the right ear across all frequencies and similar air-bone gap conductive hearing loss of the left ear at low frequencies.
