Abstract

Barotrauma is common in modern warfare. We present the first description of sound induced vertigo caused by superior canal dehiscence (SCD) precipitated by blast exposure. Patients who complain of balance or visual changes after military or terrorist blast exposure should be evaluated for SCD.
