    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Vestibular neuronitis can cause lasting vestibular and hearing deficits. Follow-up studies reveal significant caloric reaction loss and auditory impairment in many patients long after the initial attack.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Vestibular neuronitis is an acute vestibular disorder.
    • Its long-term effects on vestibular function and hearing are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term vestibular and auditory outcomes in patients with vestibular neuronitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined 43 patients during acute vestibular neuronitis and at an average 3.2-year follow-up.
    • Assessed caloric vestibular reactions and audiometric hearing thresholds.

    Main Results:

    • At follow-up, 7 patients had no caloric reactions, 15 had reduced reactions, and 21 had normal reactions.
    • 24 patients exhibited 5-10 dB hearing loss at 4.6 and 8 kHz on the affected side, with normal hearing during the acute phase.

    Conclusions:

    • Vestibular neuronitis can lead to persistent vestibular dysfunction.
    • Auditory function may also be compromised in a significant portion of patients post-acute attack.
