Surgical treatment of recurrent perilymph fistula with anacusis.
A woman with substantiated well-preserved premorbid cochlear function developed right-sided anacusis due to a perilymph fistula twice at an interval of 20 months. The fistula was presumably a sequel to previous operative damage to the stapes footplate. On both occasions she was treated surgically with a good result.
