Sensorineural loss four (23.5%) One treated a cochlear implantation because bilateral sudden deafness. Spontaneous nystagmus detected two (11.8%) Abnormal findings noted 1 (5.9%) saccadic movement, (29.4%) bithermal caloric tests, 10 (58.9%) rotation chair tests. In total, or 16 (94.1%) However, abnormalities not controls.Audio-vestibular is rare compared controls. We believe that assessment management may be helpful diagnosis treatment disease.
