Semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) is usually seen in children, but it rarely occurs in adults. Posterior SCD in children is scarcely reported in the literature. This study reports the presence of posterior SCD and comorbid auditory neuropathy in a 22-month-old male baby. The video head impulse test was normal, but cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential test supported SCD on the left side. Also, temporal CT of the patient revealed posterior SCD. Cochlear microphonic was detected bilaterally by the Auditory Brainstem Response test. Posterior SCD may cause different audio-vestibular signs. Early vestibular assessment in children with congenital hearing loss, especially auditory neuropathy, is suggested because knowing the additional problems associated with the vestibular function will ease the prognosis of vestibular disorder and protect the children's balance functions.
