Objectives: Pneumolabyrinth and pneumocochlea are characterized by the presence of air within the inner ear and fewer than forty cases are reported in the literature. There is little information on the etiology, epidemiology, and associated physical exam and radiologic findings in these patients. This summary of published cases of pneumolabyrinth with or without pneumocochlea presents this information along with a new case of isolated pneumocochlea.
