title: [Bilateral failure of the vestibular system of the inner ear underlying an equilibrium disturbance].
abstract: Bilateral vestibular failure is a fairly rare, though possible cause underlying the symptoms of a dizzy patient. A recognizable oscillopsia symptom makes the diagnosis easier, though confirmation of the diagnosis requires a more precise measurement. The prognosis for recovery is not good, and curative treatment is not available. Diagnosis is nevertheless important with regard to rehabilitation and maintaining of functional capacity.
