Abstract
Perilymphatic fistula (PLF) is a rare condition with a pathological communication between the inner ear and usually the middle ear, causing both cochlear and vestibular symptoms. PLF is typically treated with either a conservative approach or surgically with grafting. But a new treatment has been proposed: intratympanic injection of autologous blood, blood patch. This is a case report of a 21-year-old woman who presented herself with PLF and was successfully treated with blood patch.
