A 66-year-old Japanese man with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) presented with complaints of long-lasting dysequilibrium. On neuro-otological examination, he showed gaze-evoked nystagmus at the rightward and leftward gaze, and saccadic pursuit. On the caloric test, he showed no response in either side, and on the head-impulse test he showed bilateral loss of vestibule-ocular reflexes around the yaw axis, while he had bilateral normal responses on the vestibular-evoked myogenic potential testing. Neuro-otological findings suggested that he had lesions in the peripheral vestibular system as well as the central nervous system. Neurological disorders such as sensory neuropathy have been reported in patients with CCS. This patient's balance problems could be due to CCS itself.
