Introduction: The labyrinths present dizziness or vertigo, as the most common symptoms, frequently present in patients with psychiatric disorders, mainly depression, stress and anxiety. With these complaints, deterioration of the quality of life can be observed, away from work, studies, social interaction and others. It is observed in these patients a decrease in attention and concentration that suggested us to investigate the performance of these individuals in the vestibular tests that need these cognitive abilities.

Objectives: Evaluate the influence of stress and depression on the performance of oculomotor vestibular tests in individuals with labyrinth disease.

Methods: 10 labyrinthine patients less mental disorders, 10 labyrinthine patients presenting stress and 10 labyrinthine patients presenting depression were submitted to the vectonystagmography, in the period from September to November 2016. We analyzed performance in calibration, pendular tracking, saccadic movements, optokinetic nystagmus.

Results: When analyzing the performance of oculomotor tests, we found changes mainly in latency and precision in 30% of patients without mental disorders, 36% in patients with stress and 47% in patients with depression.

Conclusion: We conclude in this pilot study that there are indications of possible influence of mental disorders on the performance of oculomotor tests in individuals with labyrinth disease associated with stress and depression.
