Introduction
Bilateral semicircular canal dehiscence (B-SCD) is a unique condition
characterized by abnormal openings or thinning of the bony structures in
the inner ear’s semicircular canals1. It can manifest
with various auditory and vestibular symptoms, significantly impacting
an individual’s overall well-being. This case report focuses on
exploring a specific case of bilateral SCD.. Understanding the
implications of B-SCD on different aspects of individuals’ lives,
including auditory function, balance, and overall participation, is
crucial. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability,
and Health (ICF) framework is employed, allowing for a comprehensive
evaluation of functioning status while considering contextual and
personal factors2, 3.
Through examining vestibular outcomes, including vestibular tests and
assessments, valuable insights can be gained into the impact of B-SCD on
balance and spatial orientation. Computed tomography(CT) findings
further aid in understanding the anatomical abnormalities within the
semicircular canals, contributing to the underlying pathology of the
condition4. The audiometric analysis is crucial in
evaluating auditory function and associated symptoms in individuals with
B-SCD. By considering audiometric test results and related measurements,
the impact this condition on hearing abilities and communication skills
can be assessed1.
Incorporating the ICF framework into the analysis of B-SCD enables a
comprehensive evaluation of functioning implications across various
domains, offering a holistic understanding of the condition. This
approach contributes to developing tailored management strategies to
address the specific needs of individuals with B-SCD 2,
3. This case report aims to explore the vestibular outcomes, CT
findings, and audiometric analysis of individuals with B-SCD. By
utilizing the ICF framework, valuable insights into the functioning
implications of the condition can be gained. This knowledge is a
foundation for developing effective management strategies tailored to
the needs of individuals with otoneurologic diseases.
