A rare case of stapediovestibular dislocation complicated by pneumolabyrinth in a 72-year-old woman was reported. High-resolution CT scans predicted a perilymphatic fistula, confirmed by surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Traumatic stapes luxation is rare.
  • Pneumolabyrinth complicating stapes luxation is extremely rare.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old woman presented with vertigo and nystagmus after penetrating middle ear trauma.
  • High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) revealed air in the vestibule and stapes dislocation.
  • Exploratory tympanotomy showed perilymphatic fluid oozing from the oval window and stapes displacement into the vestibule.

Findings:

  • The HRCT findings of pneumolabyrinth and stapes luxation were predictive of a perilymphatic fistula.
  • Surgical exploration confirmed the diagnosis of stapediovestibular dislocation with perilymphatic fistula.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic utility of HRCT in identifying rare traumatic middle ear injuries.
  • Early detection and surgical intervention are crucial for managing perilymphatic fistulas.
  • Understanding this rare entity aids in better patient outcomes for traumatic ear injuries.
