The fistula and Hennebert tests

R C Pearlman

    Journal of the American Audiology Society
    |July 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    The fistula and Hennebert tests assess inner ear structural integrity, particularly the bony and membranous labyrinths. Incorporating these tests into impedance testing is crucial when vertigo is present.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Vestibular System

    Background:

    • The bony and membranous labyrinths are critical components of the inner ear.
    • Assessing the structural integrity of these labyrinths is essential for diagnosing certain vestibular disorders.
    • Vertigo can be a symptom of labyrinthine dysfunction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the diagnostic utility of the fistula and Hennebert tests.
    • To recommend the integration of these tests into routine audiological evaluations.
    • To emphasize their role in cases presenting with vertigo.

    Main Methods:

    • The fistula and Hennebert tests are described as diagnostic procedures.
    • Administration of these tests using an electroacoustic impedance instrument's manometer is noted.
    • These tests are positioned as part of a standard impedance test battery.

    Main Results:

    • The tests effectively detect structural integrity issues of the bony labyrinth.
    • They identify when the membranous labyrinth interfaces with the stapes footplate.
    • Their application is indicated in the presence of vertigo symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • The fistula and Hennebert tests are valuable tools for evaluating inner ear conditions.
    • Routine use of these tests is recommended, especially when vertigo is a presenting symptom.
    • Integrating them into impedance testing enhances diagnostic capabilities for vestibular disturbances.
