Background:

Endolymphatic hydrops is a disorder of the inner ear.
Head trauma is a potential, though rarely reported, cause of endolymphatic hydrops.
Distinguishing posttraumatic hydrops from perilymphatic fistula is crucial.

Observation:

A case of posttraumatic endolymphatic hydrops is presented.
The diagnosis was confirmed using a positive glycerin test.
The patient's history included significant head trauma.

Findings:

The glycerin test confirmed endolymphatic hydrops post-trauma.
The literature contains limited reports linking head trauma directly to hydrops.
Perilymphatic fistula should be carefully excluded in suspected posttraumatic hydrops cases.

Implications:

This case underscores the need to consider head trauma as a cause of endolymphatic hydrops.
Accurate diagnosis requires differentiating hydrops from perilymphatic fistula.
Further research may elucidate the mechanisms connecting head trauma to inner ear fluid disorders.
