Posterior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Presenting with Recurrent Positional Vertigo
نویسنده
چکیده
Vestibular symptoms to sound should arise suspicion for semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) syndrome, especially when Tullio phenomenon or Hennebert’s sign are present. But diverse clinical presentation makes this diagnosis not straightforward. Repeating episodes of positional vertigo in a patient with posterior semicircular canal dehiscence is herein presented case. Inconsistent history of patients with SCD makes this diagnosis challenging. BPPV has been described in various inner ear disorders but not yet in the SCD syndrome.

Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Abnormalities in Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Pilot Study
Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), involving the semicircular canals, is one of the most common diseases of the inner ear. The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a new test that examines the function of the canals. This study aimed to investigate the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain, gain asymmetry and saccades after stimulating all six canals in patients definitively d...

Multiple semicircular canal dehiscences are clinical entities characterised by vestibular and cochlear symptoms induced by enhanced sensitivity of labyrinthine receptors due to a multiple bone defect of the otic capsule. The case is presented of a 38-year-old male with bilateral posterior semicircular canal dehiscence associated with unilateral (right) superior semicircular canal dehiscence. Th...
متن کاملBilateral posterior semicircular canal aplasia and atypical paroxysmal positional vertigo: a case report.
Isolated congenital malformations of semicircular canals are rare abnormalities. Most inner ear abnormalities occur in syndromes and are associated with hearing loss. Unilateral or bilateral single aplasia of one semicircular canal does not usually result in vertigo, but these become clinically important if there are clinical complaints of vertigo. Computed tomography imaging and high resolutio...
