Inferior vestibular neuritis.
Sudden, spontaneous, unilateral loss of vestibular function without simultaneous hearing loss or brain stem signs is generally attributed to a viral infection involving the vestibular nerve and is called acute vestibular neuritis. The clinical hallmarks of acute vestibular neuritis are vertigo, spontaneous nystagmus, and unilateral loss of lateral semicircular function as shown by impulsive and...
متن کاملVestibular neuritis spares the inferior division of the vestibular nerve.
Acute unilateral vestibulopathy, or vestibular neuritis, is the second most common cause of vertigo. To quantify the involvement of the different semicircular canal (SCC) afferents in this disease, we studied the three-dimensional (3D) properties of the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) in 16 patients 3-10 days after onset of symptoms. Using 3D magnetic search coil eye movement recordings, we measur...
متن کاملInferior vestibular neuritis: 3 cases with clinical features of acute vestibular neuritis, normal calorics but indications of saccular failure
BACKGROUND Vestibular neuritis (VN) is commonly diagnosed by demonstration of unilateral vestibular failure, as unilateral loss of caloric response. As this test reflects the function of the superior part of the vestibular nerve only, cases of pure inferior nerve neuritis will be lost. CASE PRESENTATIONS We describe three patients with symptoms suggestive of VN, but normal calorics. All 3 had...

متن کاملVestibular neuritis.
Vestibular neuritis is the most common cause of acute spontaneous vertigo. Vestibular neuritis is ascribed to acute unilateral loss of vestibular function, probably due to reactivation of herpes simplex virus in the vestibular ganglia. The diagnostic hallmarks of vestibular neuritis are spontaneous horizontal-torsional nystagmus beating away from the lesion side, abnormal head impulse test for ...
