To determine whether cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) thresholds or ocular VEMP amplitudes are more sensitive and specific in the diagnosis of superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS). Prospective case-control study Tertiary referral center 29 patients with SCDS (mean age 48y; range 31–66y) and 25 age-matched controls (mean age 48y; range 30–66y). cVEMP and oVEMP in response to air-conducted sound (ACS). All patients underwent surgery for repair of SCDS. cVEMP thresholds; oVEMP n10 and peak-to-peak amplitudes. cVEMP threshold results showed sensitivity and specificity ranging from 80–100% for the diagnosis of SCDS. In contrast, oVEMP amplitudes demonstrated sensitivity and specificity >90%. oVEMP amplitudes are superior to cVEMP thresholds in the diagnosis of SCDS.
