Our study has 2 key findings: First, patients with bilateral dehiscence seem to be more symptomatic, reporting more auditory and vestibular symptoms both before and after surgery. Second, bilateral patients still seem to benefit from unilateral repair, demonstrating a significant reduction in the number of symptoms with surgery. Our findings may help inform the management of the sizable proportion of SCDS patients with bilateral defects.
