The Journal of Otolaryngology

Abstract

Three successive episodes of recurrent meningitis in connection with an infection of the upper respiratory tract appeared to be related to a congenital idiopathic oval window CSF leak. An inner ear dysplasia was the underlying factor and accounted for the deafness and for the absence of signs of acute labyrinthis during these infectious episodes.
