Passive cervicoocular reflex (PCOR) was studied in patients with unilateral affection of the labyrinth at the stage of decompensation and subcompensation according to the following three criteria: nystagmic direction, reactivity coefficient and phasic deviation. In decompensation of unilateral vestibular dysfunction, PCOR presents intensively and asymmetrically while in subcompensation it becomes symmetric and less intensive. The PCOR is characterized as compensatory in unilateral lesion of peripheral vestibular system.
