Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses the potential of analyzing perilymph to study inner ear diseases but notes that current sampling methods are risky and mostly limited to research contexts.
- It reviews existing literature on perilymph sampling and microneedle technology, identifying eight studies that focus on perilymph features and outcomes related to inner ear drug injections.
- The authors propose a new, safer method for collecting perilymph in clinical settings by combining traditional techniques and innovative tools like micro-endoscopes and microneedles.
Purpose: Atelectasis otitis media (AtOM) is a chronic condition where the tympanic membrane (TM) becomes retracted towards the middle ear and the ossicular chain. Surgical treatment for this condition could be indicated based on stage of atelectasis, patient's clinical condition and hearing loss. Over the years, AtOM has been treated with various types of tympanoplasty under microscopic view.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review at the Hospital of Salerno, focusing on 26 patients diagnosed with geotropic LC-BPPV between 2021 and 2022. The SLCM was applied, and its efficacy was assessed based on the resolution of nystagmus and vertigo symptoms.
