Middle cranial fossa approach for the repair of superior semicircular canal dehiscence is associated with greater symptom resolution compared to transmastoid approach

摘要

Background Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) is a disorder of the skull base that is gaining increasing recognition among neurosurgeons. Traditionally, the middle cranial fossa (MCF) approach has been used for the surgical repair of SSCD. However, the transmastoid (TM) approach is an alternative strategy that has demonstrated promising results.
