Superior semicircular canal dehiscence is caused by a bone defect on the roof of the superior semicircular canal. The estimated prevalence when unilateral varies between 0.4% and 0.7% and is still unknown when bilateral. Patients may present with audiologic and vestibular symptoms that may vary from asymptomatic to disabling. We report a case of a 72-year-old Caucasian woman presented to otolaryngology department reporting imbalance, bilateral pulsatile tinnitus, hypoacusis while being very sensitive to certain sounds. Physical examination was unremarkable, except for the Rinne test that was negative in both sides. The patient underwent an audiometry revealing a mild bilateral conductive hearing loss. A temporal bone CT scan was performed which evidenced bilateral superior semicircular canal dehiscence. Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials and electrocochleography confirmed diagnosis. Although rare, superior semicircular canal dehiscence shall be considered in conductive hearing loss with vestibular symptoms.

Dehiscence of bone overlying the superior semicircular canal can result in a syndrome of vertigo and oscillopsia induced by loud noises or by maneuvers that change middle ear or intracranial pressure. Patients with this disorder can also experience a heightened sensitivity to bone-conducted sounds in the presence of normal middle ear function. High-resolution CT scans of the temporal bones demonstrate the dehiscence. The authors describe a patient with bilateral superior canal dehiscence who had bilateral low-frequency conductive hearing loss, normal middle ear function, intact acoustic reflexes, and intact vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials. These findings would not be expected on the basis of a middle ear cause of the conductive hearing loss. A high-resolution CT scan of the temporal bones in this patient revealed bilateral superior canal dehiscence. Normal acoustic immittance findings in the presence of conductive hearing loss should alert clinicians to the possibility of inner ear cause of an air-bone gap due to superior canal dehiscence
