This experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of intravenous injection of lidocaine on the nystagmus after labyrinthectomy in rabbits. The inhibitory effect on the nystagmus was evident after 1 min, and it continued as a rule for 2-10 min, depending on the dose. After the temporary reduction the nystagmus recovered again to the pre-injection value. This may result from the action of lidocaine on cortical and also subcortical regions.
