Balance problem on/off while walking,
Hello, I had 2times right side ear MRM surgery last 5years ago and 10 years ago, now I m feeling in balance and unsteadiness, spinning. I have done MRI was normal, today I have done CT scan temporal bone, there report showing as Dehiscence of the lateral semicricular canal, my Dr said they wants to see inside by otoscope there is full of harden wax inside hence not able to see,
After removing harden wax from ear, my LSCD could be solve ? or I have to take treatment for that as surgery or medication??
I thought there may harden wax caused ruputer my LSC after removing wax it will be cure ?
Lsc means lateral semicircular canal and it is part of the inner ear which is part of our balance maintaining organ. In cholesteatoma or during MRM surgery there can be erosion of LSC and this will cause a condition known semicircular canal fistula which is probably cause of imbalance in your case. You may need to undergo surgery to patch the defect in the LSC. wax is unlikely to be cause of your problem
