MRI and several functional investigations of isolated malformation of LSCC. (a) Pure-tone threshold audiometry: normal hearing of both ears. (b) VEMP was normal in the bilateral ear. (c) Caloric tests reveal a mild bilateral SCC hyporeflexia: (A) right ear with cold air; (B) right ear with hot air; (C) left ear with hot air; (D) left ear with cold air. (d) MRI with 3D reconstruction: the red arrow shows the interruptive deformity of the left LSCC. (e and f) MRI, axial section, T2HR sequence: the red arrows show the bilateral normal cochlea and the blue arrow shows the left defective LSCC. L: Left; R: Right; VEMP: Vestibular evoked myogenic potential; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; LSCC: Left semicircular canal; 3D: Three dimensional.
