OBJECT: Presentation of a 34-year-old pregnant @entity1 with skew deviation due to peripheral @entity394 caused by @entity6324 . METHODS: A multidisciplinary approach (neuroophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, neuroradiology) revealed the diagnosis of @entity5528 . CASE REPORT: The @entity1 presented with @entity158 of the left ear, associated with a rotatory vertigo and @entity393 . Otorhinolaryngological examination showed a unilateral peripheral vestibular loss, a @entity346 towards the unaffected right side, no @entity2103 and a left perception @entity393 , mainly in the frequencies between 2-6 KHz. The @entity1 was treated with Zovirax IV. Neuroradiological examination (MRI without contrast) revealed no abnormalities. @entity892 from skew deviation was noted +/- 10 days after onset of @entity6324 . Neuroophthalmological and orthoptic examination showed a comitant right @entity15170 of 6 diopters and a spontaneous @entity346 to the right. CONCLUSION: Skew deviation can be caused by a sudden unilateral cochleo-vestibular loss as described by A.B. Safran. (4,6,7,8).
