Overview

Case report reveals improved outcomes after using cartilage to seal the oval window in patients with stapediovestibular luxation.

Key Points

  • Cartilage sealing resulted in complete resolution of vestibular symptoms in a 37-year-old woman.
  • 25 years post-surgery, recurrence of oval window rupture prompted the introduction of the cartilage sealing method.
  • Stapedectomy with cartilage sealing offers a durable option compared to soft tissue sealing in preventing recurrence.
  • Long-term risks of oval window rupture persistence are noted in patients with stapediovestibular luxations.
