    Author: Janzen VD, Russell RD.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1988 Dec; 17(7):359-61. PubMed ID: 3230608.
    Abstract:
    Tumarkin's otolithic crisis (TOC), characterized by a sudden drop attack without accompanying loss of consciousness, vertigo or autonomic signs, is a rare phenomenon thought to be of peripheral origin and associated with late-stage Meniere's disease. The purpose of this paper is to describe the clinical course of TOC in our series; to discuss the relationship between TOC and the onset and symptomatology of pre-existent Meniere's disease, and to determine the management of patients with TOC.
