The objective of this communication is to demonstrate success of the surgical intervention on the sole hearing ear in the presence of absolute indications for such treatment, viz. the presence of cholesteatoma and labyrinth fistula (LF). The sensorineural loss of hearing is a rather common serious complication of LF surgery in the patients with cholesteatoma. The present observation concerns a 41 year-old woman with the history of an episode of suppurative otitis media experienced in the childhood. After a period of prolonged remission, she suffered systemic dizziness despite the intact tympanic membranes. The patient was examined with the use of multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) that revealed serious lesions in the middle ear (labyrinth fistula). It made possible careful planning and performing sanation surgery on the middle ear including tympano- and mastoidoplasty. This treatment produced good morphological and functional result.
