Predictors of non-primary auditory and vestibular symptom persistence following surgical repair of superior canal dehiscence syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Patients with superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS) can present with a plethora of auditory and/or vestibular symptoms associated with a bony defect of the superior semicircular canal. While surgical repair is a reasonable option for patients with significant localizing symptoms, the degree of clinical improvement will vary among patients and poses challenges in outcome prediction. This study aims to assess the relationship between preoperative and postoperative symptoms and identify predictors of symptom persistence following repair.

Study design

Retrospective chart review.

Setting

Tertiary neurotology single-institution care center.
