Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence

In this disorder, the bony covering of one of the balance canals is missing underneath the middle surface of the brain. These patients have episodes of dizziness in a number of conditions and sometimes also have hearing loss. During the operation, the missing bone is repaired or the canal is plugged, therefore, eliminating the dizziness.
