Superior semicircular canal occlusion-Transmastoid approach

INTRODUCTIONThe condition superior semi-circular canal dehiscence was first described by Minor et al. in 1998.PRESENTATION Of CaseWe describe a novel surgical approach to the management of superior semicircular canal dehiscence. Our surgical technique involves a transmastoid rather than middle cranial fossa approach to the superior semicircular canal.CONCLUSIONWe conclude that the transmastoid approach, if anatomically feasible, carries significant advantages compared to middle cranial fossa craniotomy approach for the management of superior semicircular canal dehiscence.
