- Perilymph Fistula (PLF) is an abnormal connection between the inner ear’s fluid and the middle ear, causing auditory and balance issues, and this study looks at 22 cases treated with surgery.

This implies that the diagnosis of AUVP is based on the patient history, bedside examination, and, if necessary, laboratory evaluation.
