  • Title: Far advanced otosclerosis and intractable benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treated with combined cochlear implantation and posterior semicircular canal occlusion.
    Author: Crossland G, De R, Axon P.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2004 Apr; 118(4):302-4. PubMed ID: 15117471.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a combined procedure for the management of intractable benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and profound hearing loss in a patient with far advanced otosclerosis. The procedure comprised of a posterior semicircular canal occlusion and cochlear implantation as one combined procedure in the same ear. The combined approach added little to the operative morbidity and proved effective in this patient's management. A search of the literature reveals this to be a unique case.
