Implication

Case report and literature review reveal critical treatment choices for vertigo and hearing loss in trauma cases.

Key Points

  • Examine treatment strategies for traumatic stapediovestibular luxation and their impact on recovery.
  • Presented two cases of traumatic stapediovestibular luxation due to ear trauma.
  • Used high-resolution computed tomography for diagnosis and assessment.
  • Compared early surgical repositioning with conservative management.
  • In Case 1, early surgery led to rapid vertigo resolution and improved hearing thresholds.
  • In Case 2, conservative management achieved symptom resolution without surgery, with a mild air-bone gap remaining.
