Abstract
Abstract: We aim to review the recent literature about inner ear embryology and discuss the audio vestibular
findings in a patient with isolated lateral semicircular canal (LSCC) aplasia. Patient presented with dizziness for
the past two years along with lightheadedness and spinning sensations. Radiological and vestibular test results
are reviewed. Isolated lateral semicircular canal aplasia is a problem of embryological origin, it may manifest
itself with audio vestibular complaints in late ages.
