ABSTRACT
Spontaneous nystagmus is a reflection of tonic left-right vestibular asymmetry. It is typically seen after a recent unilateral peripheral vestibular lesion and has fast phases away from the side of the lesion. Sometimes spontaneous nystagmus is seen in the absence of a recent unilateral peripheral lesion, in which case it provides evidence of a vestibular lesion but does not localize it. We experienced a case of 35-year-old man who had sudden sensorineural hearing loss on the left side with acute onset of vertigo and transient spontaneous nystagmus, which had fast phases away from the side of the sudden deafness, without canal paresis on the bithermal caloric test.
