Case report and literature review reveal critical treatment choices for vertigo and hearing loss in trauma cases.

Examine treatment strategies for traumatic stapediovestibular luxation and their impact on recovery.
Presented two cases of traumatic stapediovestibular luxation due to ear trauma.
Used high-resolution computed tomography for diagnosis and assessment.
Compared early surgical repositioning with conservative management.
In Case 1, early surgery led to rapid vertigo resolution and improved hearing thresholds.
In Case 2, conservative management achieved symptom resolution without surgery, with a mild air-bone gap remaining.

Takahama et al. (2026) studied this question.
