Abstract :Superior semicircular canal dehiscence is rare syndrome combined of both auditory and vestibular symptoms. Superior semicircular canal dehiscence may co-exist with other diseases as chronic otitis media, which may complicate the symptoms. In this case a 58 year old female patient who applied to our clinic with severe vertigo, nausea and vomiting for 15 days, diagnosed with chronic otitis media and concomitant superior semicircular canal dehiscence on the same side will be discussed in terms of symptomatology and differential diagnosis.
