I saw a patient with superior canal dehiscence syndrome today!!
Dude!!
It's frikin true!! The CAN hear everything going on inside them.
"I can hear my intestines moving, and my eyes moving, my hair and just basically anything going on on my left side"
My eyes were gleaming, much like dog's would while staring at a meat market, as we explored her:
VORs on head thrust showed hypofunction of L superior canal
Tunning forks showed bone>air conduction (she could hear it even when placed at the frikin ankle!)
Loud sound induction of eye movements seen with Frenzel goggles (God, I love Frenzel goggles!)
Wait a minute! Www-what? Loud sound induction of eye movements??
Hell yeah, internet!! I saw a frikin Tullio phenomenom!!
Valsalva maneuver and tragal pressure did not elicit symptoms (but how cool would that have been, a Hennebert sign)
Her audiometry with clear bone hyperacusia on AS
CT revealed a 90 degree dehiscence on her L superior canal that even I could see!!
:D
Man, today was certainly a great day!
