Posterior semicircular canal dehiscence: a diagnostic and surgical conundrum. [PDF]
BMJ Case Rep, 2019Third window defects have increasingly been identified as a cause of vertigo. These defects are bony dehiscences that occur in the bony labyrinth, resulting in abnormal pressure gradient in the inner ear fluids leading to sound (Tullio’s phenomenon) or pressure (Hennebert’s sign) induced vertigo. The superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is a

Diagnosis and treatment of the short-arm type posterior semicircular canal BPPV [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022Introduction: The Epley maneuver is useful for the otoconia to return from the long arm of the posterior semicircular canal into the utricle. To move otoconia out of the posterior semicircular canal short arm and into the utricle, we need different ...

Preferential Impairment of the Contralesional Posterior Semicircular Canal in Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017BackgroundThe vertical vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) may be impaired in internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) as the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) conveys VOR-signals from the vertical semicircular canals.

Spontaneous Jamming of Horizontal Semicircular Canal Combined with Canalolithiasis of Contralateral Posterior Semicircular Canal. [PDF]
J Audiol Otol, 2022Spontaneous canalith jam is an uncommon form of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo mimicking acute vestibular neuritis. We described for the first time a spontaneous horizontal semicircular canalith jam associated with a typical canalolithiasis involving contralateral posterior semicircular canal (PSC), illustrating how the latter condition modified ...
