Abstract
The Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome (SSCDS) is characterized by bone wear layer overlying the superior semicircular canal. Common symptoms of SSCDS the presence of vertigo associated with nystagmus induced by intense sound stimuli or changes in intracranial pressure or middle ear. The aim of this study is to describe the audiological and vestibular findings of two patients diagnosed with Superior Semicircular Canal Deiscence Syndrome, with confirmed diagnosis by computed tomography. Meatoscopy, anamnesis, pure tone audiometry and vocal followed by the acoustic impedance measurements, audiometric Weber, research Tulio phenomenon and Valsalva maneuver, performed by the same researcher in one session were held. Air-bone gap were observed, type A tympanometric curve and acoustic reflex. The air-bone gap is presented with greater amplitude at low frequencies. Hearing complaints were not reported by patients as the first symptoms. Weber showed lateralization in both cases, confirming the presence of gap. The Thulium phenomenon is positive for vertigo in both cases. The Valsalva maneuver showed a change in only one case.

Resumo
A Síndrome da Deiscência do Canal Semicircular Superior (SDCSS) é caracterizada pelo desgaste da camada óssea que recobre o canal semicircular superior. São sintomas comuns da SDCSS a presença de vertigem associada à nistagmos induzidos por estímulos sonoros intensos ou por modificações das pressões intracraniana ou da orelha média. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever os achados audiólogicos e vestibulares de dois pacientes com diagnóstico de Síndrome da Deiscência do Canal Semicircular Superior, com diagnóstico confirmado por meio de tomografia computadorizada. Foram realizadas meatoscopia, anamnese, audiometria tonal e vocal seguida das medidas de imitância acústica, Weber audiométrico, pesquisa do fenômeno de Túlio e manobra de Valsalva, realizados pela mesma pesquisadora em uma única sessão. Foram observados gap aéreo-ósseo, curva timpanométrica tipo A e reflexos acústicos presentes. O gap aéreo-ósseo apresenta-se com maior amplitude nas frequências baixas. As queixas auditivas não foram relatadas pelas pacientes como os primeiros sintomas. O Weber mostrou lateralização, nos dois casos, confirmando a presença de gap. O fenômeno de Túlio apresentou-se positivo para vertigem em ambos os casos. A manobra de Valsalva apresentou alteração em apenas um caso.
