[Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome treated by calcium phosphate cement canal plugging: a case report].

Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) syndrome exhibits pressure- and/or sound-induced oscillopsia and vertigo due to an absence of bone overlaying the superior semicircular canal. A 33-year-old man with right-ear SCD reported dizziness in a noisy hall three years earlier followed by dizziness during flatulence, straining or coughing, and right-ear autophony. Audiography showed a right-ear low-frequency air-bone gap, with positive Tullio phenomenon and a Valsalva maneuver against closed glottis causing torsional-vertical nystagmus. Temporal-bone computed tomography (CT) led to a diagnosis of right-ear SCD syndrome. Surgical dehiscence plugging with calcium phosphate cement via the middle fossa resolved vestibular and cochlear symptoms in the more than two years since.
