Abstract: Introduction The advent of the video head impulse test (vHIT) enables the study of each one of the six semicircular canals. In the present study, certain patients present disorders related only to the vertical semicircular canals, and they were carefully evaluated. Objective To investigate vestibular disorders limited to the vertical semicircular canals. Methods In total, 9,891 patients were submitted to the vHIT in our clinic; 26 (2.63%) of them, 11 men and 15 women, showed reduced vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) limited to the vertical canals. All of these patients had vestibular symptoms. Results These patients presented different disorders of the vestibular system, and ten of them presented vestibular neuritis. Conclusions Now, vestibular disorders limited the vertical canals can be evaluated through the vHIT. These disorders, however, may relate do different labyrinthine diseases.
