    ObjectiveThe treatment and understanding of superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) has seen significant developments over the past 25 years. Bibliographic analysis can provide insight into the evolution of research as well as highlight emerging areas. Reviewing a large volume of publications provides valuable insights into the citation patterns and collaborations of research groups. This study seeks to offer a comprehensive historical overview of SSCD and leading authors.Database ReviewedWeb of Science Core Collection.MethodsA bibliometric analysis of the current literature on SSCD was conducted. A performance analysis and science mapping of the top 100 most cited articles was completed using a citation analysis. Two independent reviewers evaluated articles for relevance and adjugated by a third reviewer. Author and institution networks were examined.ResultsSeven hundred ninety-one articles on the topic of SSCD were identified. The top 100 articles spanned over 23 years from 1998 to 2019 and were published in 30 different journals. The top 100 articles were cited 8253 times in literature. The document contents revealed 233 keywords and 238 author keywords. The articles were authored by a total of 291 authors, with only 4 single-authored documents.ConclusionsSSCD has been highly researched in aspects of symptomatology, diagnosis, and treatment, as indicated by many highly cited articles that relate. However, the production of highly cited articles on SSCD displays a significant decrease after 2013, with only 17 of the top cited articles published since then.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
