Abstract
Vestibular nerve dysfunction as the major neuro-otological symptom in one of the osteopetrosis group of bone disorders is unusual. We describe a patient with Engelmann's disease who presented in this manner and who benefited from an eighth nerve decompression procedure. Surgical decompression of the internal auditory meatus to relieve vertigo has to our knowledge not been previously reported in this condition.Keywords
