We present a case of a perilymphatic fistula (PLF) caused by Eustachian tube air inflation (ETAI) that was diagnosed using cochlin-tomoprotein (CTP) testing and successfully treated using transcanal endoscopic ear surgery to seal the inner ear window. A 77-year-old woman developed hearing loss and dizziness after undergoing ETAI at a local ear, nose, and throat clinic. Despite initial bed rest and steroid pulse therapy, the hearing did not improve, and transcanal endoscopic ear surgery was performed to repair the PLF.

Bilateral congenital cholesteatoma (BCC) is rare among congenital cholesteatoma (CC) cases, and bilateral surgery poses a significant psychophysical burden on pediatric patients. Here, we present 2 pediatric cases of BCC that were successfully managed using simultaneous bilateral transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES). The surgical approach provided clear visualization of the middle ear structures, enabling successful cholesteatoma removal with minimal invasiveness and a short operative time.

The persistent stapedial artery (PSA) is an exceedingly vascular anomaly that can lead to hearing loss or pulsatile tinnitus, yet its preoperative diagnosis is often challenging. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman with bilateral PSA and stapes ankylosis who presented with progressive bilateral mixed hearing loss. The patient was initially diagnosed with bilateral congenital stapes ankylosis and stapes surgery was performed on the left side using transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES).
