Abstract
Nystagmus direction during vertigo episodes varies, and may initially present as vertical upbeating nystagmus, which, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported in DEH or Menière's disease. This nystagmus might reflect an inhibition of the superior semicircular canal (on the hearing-impaired side), suggesting incipient hydrops in this canal. Chemical labyrinthectomy is a simple and effective procedure in unilateral DEH, especially as the patient often suffers from total deafness.
