Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sildenafil is an effective oral medication for male erectile disorder. Due to potential vasodilating effects, silenafil is known to have side effects such as headache, flushing, dyspepsia, and nasal congestion. Recently, we experienced a case of acute unilateral vestibular weakness that occurred in a 39-year-old man after ingesting sildenafil. The symptom lasted for 2 weeks and then was resolved partially. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case report of sildenafil induced vestubular weakness in the literature. Thus, we report a case of a rare side effect of sildenafil.
