Traumatic Stapediovestibular Dislocation With Intact Stapes: Report and Review.

We described a case of a 60-year-old female with stapediovestibular dislocation with associated perilymph fistula. She presented with symptoms including hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus after a penetrating injury by an ear pick. After 4 months of conservative management, her symptoms failed to improve. Therefore, she underwent surgery which resolved completely her vestibular symptoms and her hearing loss had partially improved. The restoration of the stapes to its normal anatomical position coupled with ossiculoplasty and closure of the tympanic membrane are effective in patients with stapediovestibular dislocation.
