Abstract

Computed tomography scan should be performed as a routine before every stapes surgery, in order to exclude concomitant superior semicircular canal dehiscence, since no other clinical, audiological, or electro-physiological criteria are available to exclude concomitant superior semicircular canal dehiscence in the otosclerotic temporal bone.

Keywords: middle ear surgery; otosclerosis; stapes fixation; stapes surgery; superior semicircular canal dehiscence.
