Post stapedectomy vertigo is most often a self-limiting postoperative complication. Sometimes vertigo occurs years after operation and different etiologies, non-surgically as well as related to previous surgery, have to be excluded. High resolution CT of the temporal bone can be of help, as in this case report, in which the images showed intravestibular stapes prosthesis protrusion.
