Abstract

To the 28 cases of rupture of the inner ear windows reported during the past five years, 19 cases are now added. Many have resulted from accidental trauma or barotrauma, with initial manifestation of gait disturbance, ataxia, episodic vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss of varying severity. The finding of positional nystagmus, a positive Romberg or fistula sign with a sensory hearing loss makes the diagnosis of an inner ear window rupture most probable. Surgical exploration of the middle ear is necessary to identify and close the fistula.

Abstract

The origin of acute periorbital swelling is not always evident. Careful attention to the history, physical findings in the nose and adjacent areas and X-ray appearances should lead to a correct diagnosis in each case. Infections of the frontal, ethmoid and maxillary sinuses, the tear sac and nasal vestibule as well as fractures of the nasal and zygomatic bones account for most of the cases.
