Abstract
The cases of 3 patients who had perilymph gushers following stapes surgery were reported. The similarities in their clinical histories and examinations were discussed. All 3 were males and had progressive mixed deafness presenting in early childhood. Polytomography revealed anomalies in both the vestibule and internal auditory meatus in 1 patient; the stapedial reflex was unexpectedly large in all 3. Preoperative evaluation of these features in other patients and patients affected by the X-linked deafness syndrome was indicated in order to assess the validity of the above criteria.
