Post-traumatic pneumolabyrinth is an uncommon clinical entity, particularly in the absence of temporal bone fracture. We report the case of a patient who presented to our emergency department with a headache, sudden left hearing loss and severe dizziness which began after a traumatic brain injury 3 days earlier. On examination, the patient presented signs of left vestibulopathy, left sensorineural hearing loss and positive fistula test, normal otoscopy and without focal neurological signs. The audiometry confirmed profound left sensorineural hearing loss. Cranial CT revealed a right occipital bone fracture and left frontal subdural haematoma, without signs of temporal bone fracture. Temporal bone high-resolution CT scan revealed left pneumolabyrinth affecting the vestibule and cochlea. Exploratory tympanotomy revealed perilymphatic fistula at the location of the round window. The sealing of defect was performed using lobule fat and fibrin glue. He presented complete resolution of the vestibular complaints, though the hearing thresholds remained stable.

Tension pneumocephalus occurs when a continuous flow of air accumulates in the intracranial cavity and produces a mass effect on the brain. We describe a case in which tension pneumocephalus was caused by the performance of continuous lumbar CSF drainage in a middle-aged man who had experienced a temporal bone fracture. Continuous lumbar CSF drainage is commonly performed in patients with temporal bone or basilar skull fractures to treat concomitant post-traumatic CSF rhinorrhea, CSF otorrhea, and/or hydrocephalus. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no previously reported case of tension pneumocephalus occurring as a complication of this procedure in a patient with a temporal bone fracture.

Background : Blunt head trauma without any temporal bone fracture or longitudinal temporal bone fracture, with an associated fracture of the labyrinth may cause labyrinthine injury with hearing loss and vertigo because of a concusive injury to the membranous labyrinth. Objective : To explain a case of labyrinthine concussion in patient with post traumatic brain injury experienced in Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta. Case Description : A patient who treated in the hospital with spinning sensation after crush injury. She also had fracture of the left collum femur. Head CT scan and laboratory examination was initiated within normal limit. Patient then diagnosed with labyrinthine concussion and treated with symptomatic therapy and physiotherapy. Conclusion : Labyrinthine concussion can occur to the patient of blunt head trauma. Pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy should be initiated to reduce symptomps and uncomfortable sensation. Keywords : labyrinthine concussion, traumatic brain injury, mixed type vertigo
