[ORL-symptomatology of "subclavian steal" syndrome]

A female patient with subclavian steal syndrome is presented in this paper. She was treated originally in the ORL department because of objective ear sensations and of Menière's disease. Otological symptoms of the steal effect, e.g. dizziness, uni- or bilateral internal ear disorders and tinnitus are discussed in view of literature data and of the case history. In the differential diagnosis of above symptoms the ORL physician should also consider subclavian steal syndrome
