In a limited number of cases with congenital nystagmus, we examined to what extend ENG could help in the assessment of the vestibular function. We observed that in half of the cases the presence of this disturbing congenital nystagmus allowed to draw a functional conclusion from the ENG-recording. We propose to associate the laterotorsion technique as a valuable aid for further investigations.
