Vertigo is a common presentation to the emergency department (ED) and is often evaluated with high-resolution non-contrast enhanced CT head (HR-NECTH). Superior semicircular canal (SSC) abnormalities, such as thinning (SST) and dehiscence (SSD), are associated with vertigo. Recent work has shown that HR-NECTH that SST/SSD can be detected with similar sensitivity, specificity, and positive/negative predictive values as traditional temporal bone CT exams (TBCT). This study investigates the prevalence of SST/SSD in ED patients presenting with vertigo on HR-NECTH in comparison to ED patients without vertigo.
