Abstract
Objective: To describe the clinical evaluation and operative management of a unique case of posterior semicircular canal dehiscence due to a high jugular bulb. Methods: Retrospective case report. Results: The patient had clinical and audiometric findings consistent with semicircular canal dehiscence and imaging demonstrating erosion of the posterior semicircular canal by a high jugular bulb. Decompression of the jugular bulb with plugging and resurfacing of the eroded canal provided resolution of vestibular symptoms without significant loss of hearing. Conclusions: Dehiscence of the posterior semicircular canal can produce a spectrum of clinical findings similar to those of superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome. Jugular bulb decompression with plugging and resurfacing of the area of dehiscence can be performed to successfully relieve the vestibular symptoms in such cases by directly addressing the area of dehiscence.
