Suspicion and Treatment of Perilymphatic Fistula: A Prospective Clinical Study. [PDF]
Background: Since the discovery of the perilymphatic fistula (PLF), the diagnosis and treatment remain controversial. If successfully recognized, the PLF is surgically repairable with an obliteration of the fistula site.

Fluctuating or progressive hearing loss in the middle-to-high frequencies may suggest the neurotologic endotype of perilymphatic fistula without antecedent traumatic events. [PDF]
BackgroundIdiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is a common clinical condition. Recent studies indicate that approximately 20% of ISSNHL cases may involve perilymphatic fistula (PLF).

Clinical course of five patients definitively diagnosed with idiopathic perilymphatic fistula treated with transcanal endoscopic ear surgery. [PDF]
ObjectivesAn idiopathic perilymphatic fistula (PLF) can be difficult to diagnose because patients present with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) and/or vestibular symptoms without any preceding events.
