Our experience with 102 patients having superior semicircular canal dehiscence confirm that the clinical manifestations of the disease are very diverse; we also identified 3 patients who showed Meniere-like symptoms. Clinical examination during an acute vertigo attack of a patient with Meniere disease for several years and whom we subsequently diagnosed as having large superior semicircular can...

The risk of uterine scar dehiscence and uterine rupture is inversely related to the lower uterine segment (LUS) thickness as measured by ultrasound. Three dimensional ultrasound can increase the reliability of ultrasound in prediction of scar dehiscence. Transvaginal three dimensional ultrasound measurement of the muscular layer thickness of the lower uterine segment seems to be the most reliab...

Scar dehiscence is defined as incomplete disruption of the uterine wall that does not lead to any serious maternal or neonatal consequences. The cause for a uterine scar dehiscence is based on the etiology behind the uterine scar defect or any event that would predispose the cesarean scar to dehisce.We report here on a patient had cesarean section 5 years ago and came now as 36 weeks with scar ...

Objective To determine the use of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in the diagnostic interpretation of superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) or thinning and its association with ear pathologies and to find whether it is an acquired condition and its association with increase in age. Materials and methods study was performed in a tertiary care institute present in a village, f...
