ABSTRACT The membranous labyrinth is contained within the bony labyrinth and surrounded by perilymph. The only two ‘potentially yielding’ parts of the otherwise solid bony labyrinth are the oval and round windows, which by their relative movements, pressure differentials and resilience are responsible for all the functions attributed to the inner ear. In pathologies, such as trauma, infection or occasionally congenital dehiscence, there may develop a ‘third window’ that may serve as an abnormal communication for the inner ear fluids and manifest with audiovestibular symptoms. Three such distinct entities have been identified, namely ‘superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome, perilymphatic fistulae and labyrinthine fistulae’. This overview intends to discuss these above-mentioned entities, as regards their characteristic presentations and principles of management. How to cite this article Hathiram BT, Khattar VS.
