Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome. / Buegangsdehiscens.

Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is a condition with troubling ear symptoms and vertigo caused by a defect in the bone between the inner ear and the middle cranial fossa. The disease is not dangerous, and for many patients it is sufficient to provide a thorough explanation for the symptoms and advice about coping strategies, balance exercises and, if necessary, use of assisted hearing devices. Surgical treatment may be appropriate for patients with severe symptoms.
