fistula test

The fistula test is used for those who are suspected of having a lost fistula. When the bone fan is routed to the lesion, the pressure or decompression of the external auditory canal can affect the labyrinth and cause the flow of the lymphatic fluid. Pressurize or decompress the external auditory canal. If the fistula is located at the back of the outer semicircular canal, the lymphatic fluid will flow to the ampulla of the ampulla during pressure, causing nystagmus to the ipsilateral side. When the decompression is performed, the flow of lymph fluid is away from the ampulla. Produces an nystagmus to the opposite side. If the fistula is located in front of the ampulla of the outer semicircular canal, such as the oval window, snail window or drumstick, the opposite is true.
