A mild head injury could have played a role in the development of post-myringotomy cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and otorrhea in an 18-month-old child with Mondini's syndrome. This notion of trauma may prevent exploration of the site of the fistula when these labyrinthic dysplasias are poorly understood. Once suspected, full radiological examination should precede closure of the gap using an otological approach.
