Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Hearing is impaired in 30% of patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome, owing to a variety of anatomical deformities of the inner and middle ear cavities. Recurrent meningitis due to a stapedial footplate fistula associated with this syndrome is rare. A case of Klippel-Feil syndrome, deafness and recurrent meningitis due to a round-window fistula is described. Surgical sealing of the defect prevented further meningeal infections. |
