We report a case of 56 year male, a known case of Squamous Chronic Otitis Media who was diagnosed as a case of Pneumolabyrinth associated with a Perilymphatic fistula. Diagnosis was done with the help of audiometry and High-Resolution Computed Tomography of Temporal Bone in background of his symptoms. Tympanomastoid exploration revealed a perilymphatic fistula at round window and a labyrinthine fistula of Lateral semicircular canal.
