[Displacement of a stapes piston as a consequence of whiplash injury with head impact].
We report the case of a 60 year old patient suffering from a displacement of her stapes piston after a rear-end collision with whiplash injury. Immediately after the accident she complained hearing loss and tinnitus. During the following days, the patient developed vertigo with lateropulsion. Diagnostic tympanoscopy showed a piston dislocation with migration into the vestibulum as a result of the blunt head trauma.
