Labyrinthine fistula: a complication of chronic suppurative otitis media.

A labyrinthine fistula is a frequent complication of long-standing unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media. It is characterized by a slowly progressive erosion of the bony labyrinth. In this paper we present our observations regarding the diagnosis and management in 50 patients with unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media with labyrinthine fistula.
