Abstract:

This publication was designed to describe the clinical manifestations of dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal (Minor syndrome), currently employed methods for its diagnostics, and the first case of this pathology reported in this country with the good outcome of the treatment. Also described are the historical background relevant to the problem, pathomorphological changes in the superior semicircular canal, clinical manifestations of the disease, the patients' subjective complaints, and the methods for diagnostics of dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal (Minor syndrome). The successful diagnostics and treatment of a female patient presenting with the aforementioned case of Minor syndrome is considered in much detail.

Keywords:

syndrome of dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal (Minor-Oppenheim's syndrome)
