a

Note that the length of the arc of superior semicircular canal dehiscence, which accounts for dehiscence size, was measured on a reformatted image in the plane of the superior semicircular canal.

b

Note that refers to period of follow-up from the surgery to the present. The status if postoperative symptoms after surgery is based on the present.

c

Note that the case No.1 accompanies chronic otitis media with tympanic membrane perforation. Surgical plugging via middle cranial fossa approach was performed following endaural tympanoplasty type I.
