Abstract

A 73-year-old female was referred to our department for persistent left anterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo refractory to multiple repositioning procedures and training physiotherapist exercises. The audiovestibular assessment and high resonance computed tomography of the petrosal bone confirmed the presence of a 5.4 mm large paucisymptomatic left anterior semicircular canal dehiscence. The connection between the 2 apparently distinct neurotological entities in the same patient was further sustained by additional imagery. T2-weighted and 3-dimensional labyrinthine sequences confirmed the presence of a partially “auto-plugged” superior semicircular canal dehiscence which progressively entrapped greater otolith particles proximal to the cupula of the superior semicircular canal.
