ABSTRACT

Superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) is a relatively new condition, first described in a series of eight patients by Lloyd Minor in 1998.1 It is uncommon2 and patients may have often been treated for a number of other otological conditions before the

diagnosis is finally reached. The diagnosis is primarily based around the clinical history and physical examination. Characteristic audio-vestibular and imaging findings, in a patient with typical clinical features, can lend further support to the diagnosis.
