Two cases of inner ear injury caused by suppressed sneezing are described. One patient experienced vestibular symptoms in the form of reflexogenic vertigo that was relieved by surgical section of the tensor tympani tendon. The other patient had a sudden severe permanent sensorineural hearing loss. It is proposed that the aerodynamic pressure increase associated with suppressed sneezing is transmitted via the eustachian tube to cause an implosive fistula of either the round or oval window with injury to the membranous labyrinth.
本文描述了两例因抑制喷嚏导致内耳损伤的病例。一例患者出现反射性眩晕形式的前庭症状，经鼓膜张肌肌腱手术切断后症状缓解。另一例患者突然发生严重的永久性感音神经性听力损失。据推测，与抑制喷嚏相关的气压升高通过咽鼓管传导，导致圆窗或卵圆窗出现内爆性瘘管，进而损伤膜迷路。
