Abstract
Perilymphatic fistula is an infrequent pathology in standard otorhinolaryngological practice. Fistulas of this sort may be of congenital, spontaneous or, more frequently, post traumatic origin, normally presenting with the clinical triad of hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. The case of a 50 year old patient presenting with clinically compatible symptoms of sudden appearance after a self-infringed traumatic tympanic perforation is discussed.
