[The value of computed tomography in persistent balance disorders following the use of stapes prostheses].
10 of 150 patients had persistent vertigo after implantation of stapes prostheses. These patients were evaluated by high-resolution CT in the axial and coronal plane. Scans showed in all cases findings which related to the symptoms. The CT findings were proved intraoperatively in 9 cases. A new indirect sign of a perilymphatic fistula is described in form of an air bulla at the end of the prosthesis. Retympanotomy could be planned better with the help of HR-CT.
