Resum

Otitis media-interna are the most common causes of peripheral vestibular disease seen in dogs and cats, but there is little information in ferrets. An 8-year-old, neutered female ferret was presented because of an acute onset of a left-sided head tilt. Neurological examination was compatible with peripheral vestibular syndrome. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the presence of otitis media. CT is a useful, quick and practical technique to rule in or rule out the presence of material in the middle ear in the ferret.
