Perilymph Fistula

Perilymph Fistula Treatment in Vijayawada

Perilymph Fistula (PLF) is a condition that occurs when an abnormal opening develops between the inner ear and middle ear, allowing inner ear fluid to leak and disrupt normal hearing and balance function. Patients may experience dizziness, imbalance, hearing changes, and pressure-related vertigo that can affect daily activities.
 

The condition may occur following head injuries, sudden pressure changes, physical strain, or damage to the membranes separating the inner and middle ear. Leakage of inner ear fluid can interfere with vestibular function and lead to persistent balance disturbances.
