Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Viral infections can trigger various neurological complications.
  • Vestibular disorders present with vertigo, impacting quality of life.

Observation:

  • Patients experienced sudden, intense vertiginous attacks post-viral infection.
  • Neurotological exams indicated central vestibular apparatus involvement.

Findings:

  • Vestibular depressor drugs exacerbated dizziness.
  • Corticosteroids offered symptomatic relief.
  • Full recovery from vertigo occurred in 3-4 months, but central vestibular signs persisted for 6-12 months.

Implications:

  • Suggests a post-viral central vestibular syndrome.
  • Highlights the potential role of corticosteroids in managing such conditions.
  • Underscores the prolonged nature of central vestibular dysfunction after acute recovery.
