Acute bilateral sequential vestibular neuritis.

H F Schuknecht, R L Witt

    American Journal of Otolaryngology
    |July 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bilateral sequential vestibular neuritis can cause lasting disequilibrium after the second ear is affected. While acute symptoms are manageable, long-term balance issues persist, with prognosis dependent on patient age.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Vestibular neuritis is an inner ear disorder affecting balance.
    • Bilateral sequential cases present unique diagnostic and management challenges.

    Observation:

    • Two patients experienced significant, persistent disequilibrium after sequential involvement of both vestibular nerves.
    • Acute symptoms like nausea and vomiting were initially treated with vestibular suppressants.

    Findings:

    • Viral neuritis is the suspected cause of vestibular function loss.
    • Vestibular suppressants offer no long-term benefit for persistent disequilibrium.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing bilateral sequential vestibular neuritis as a distinct entity is crucial for accurate diagnosis and prognosis.
    • Patient prognosis for persistent disequilibrium is generally permanent but may lessen over time, influenced by age.
