We report the case of a 42-year-old male with Harada's disease who showed impairment of bilateral, vestibular and cochlear function. He showed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss on an audiogram and canal paresis in Caloric response. The systemic administration of betamethasone was effective: his visual acuity and hearing level normalized and vertigo subsided.
Key words : Harada's disease, canal paresis, vertigo
