Summary:A patient with Harada's disease showed signs of cerebellar impairment such as gaze-evoked nystagmus, rebound nystagmus and vertical nystagmus. This study revealed that disorders of the central nervous system, and marked cerebellar disturbances are present in patients with Harada's disease who complain of disequilibrium. I propose that Harada's disease, which manifests cochleo-vestibular symptoms, should be divided into three subtypes, peripheral type, central type and mixed type, based on otoneurological results.
