title: Multiple dehiscence of semicircular canals.
abstract: Dehiscence of the semicircular canal is an uncommon condition and has been reported to involve the roof of the superior semicircular canal. We describe a case with dehiscence of four semicircular canals and in areas not involving the roof of the superior semicircular canal. Features that assist the diagnosis of this condition are reviewed, along with the current literature.
