The superior canal dehiscence syndrome is a pathology that affects the arcuate eminence creating a “third window” between the inner ear and the middle fossa. This condition can lead to symptoms such as hearing loss, autophony, or sound-induced vertigo. Traditionally, surgical treatment has been performed by microscope-assisted temporal craniotomy, but when the dehiscence is in the medial part of the arcuate eminence the bone defect may not be seen.
