Bilateral vestibular loss is a rare diagnosis among patients with dizziness and imbalance. Nevertheless, symptoms are often disabling and therapy has yet to be established.To evaluate and describe the clinical outcome of patients with imbalance due to bilateral vestibular loss after a caloric test treated with vestibular rehabilitation.Retrospective case report.Pre- and post-treatment outcomes were evaluated in 8 individuals suffering from post-caloric bilateral vestibular paresis who were submitted to vestibular rehabilitation.Clinical improvement after vestibular rehabilitation was observed in 7 (87.5%) of the 8 patients.Although complete compensation for bilateral vestibular loss is not expected, vestibular rehabilitation may be used as a therapeutic method in these patients.
