Clin Case Rep. 2022 May 24;10(5):e05898. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5898. eCollection 2022 May.

Abstract

Labyrinthitis occurs because of the inflammation of the inner ear. We present a rare case of labyrinthitis ossificans following an acute otitis media. The T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed decreased signal intensity in the right inner ear due to labyrinthitis ossificans, consistent with the clinical presentation.

Keywords: acute otitis media; labyrinthitis; labyrinthitis ossificans; sensorineural hearing loss.
