[Congenital perilymphatic fistula in children].
We report twenty case of perilymphatic fistulae in children. A fistula was discovered in every case where the cochlear aqueduct is larger than normal on high resolution CT scan of the temporal bone. The surgical treatment of these fistulae allowed only a significant improvement of hearing in the cases were an asymmetry or a dilatation of the cochlear aqueducts and a fluctuating deafness coexisted. Unfortunately these improvements do not look permanent.
