    Perilymphatic fistula, a cause of sensorineural hearing loss, can result from inner ear malformations, surgery, or trauma. Exploratory tympanotomy revealed round window membrane rupture in 4 of 5 acute hearing loss cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has diverse causes.
    • Perilymphatic fistula (PLF) is a recognized, though less common, etiology of SNHL.
    • PLF can arise from congenital defects, surgical interventions, head trauma, or idiopathic acute hearing loss.

    Observation:

    • This study investigated 19 cases of acute hearing loss at the ORL Clinic in Kraków.
    • Five of these cases underwent exploratory tympanotomy.
    • A significant finding was the identification of round window membrane (RWM) rupture in four of these five patients.

    Findings:

    • Rupture of the round window membrane (secondary tympanic membrane) was identified as a potential cause of acute SNHL.
    • The study presents a hypothesis regarding the mechanism of RWM rupture.

  • This suggests RWM integrity is crucial for maintaining inner ear function.

    • Implications:

    • Findings highlight the importance of considering RWM rupture in cases of acute SNHL of unknown origin.
    • Exploratory tympanotomy can be a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying PLF.
    • Further research into the rupture mechanism may lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for hearing loss.
