Abstract

Vestibular neuritis is an acute unilateral peripheral vestibular disorder, manifestating with vertigo, nausea, vomiting and balance disorders. The epidemiology, diagnostic features, differential diagnosis, and treatment of vestibular neuritis are reviewed. The main clinical criteria are peripheral nystagmus and positive head thrust test, absence of neurological signs and hearing disorders.The treatment includes vestibular suppressants, corticosteroids and individual physical vestibular rehabilitation.
