Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of perilymphatic fistula (PLF) in patients with sudden-onset sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) using the Cochlin-tomoprotein (CTP) detection test, while also evaluating related clinical outcomes.
- - Among 74 patients tested, 22% showed positive CTP results indicating PLF, which was significantly correlated with older age and worse pre-treatment hearing, suggesting that older individuals are more affected by this condition.
- - The findings indicate that PLF might be a major cause of SSNHL, particularly in those aged 60 and older, and that the standard treatment (intratympanic dexamethasone) may be
