Vestibular Compensation in Vestibular Neuronitis. Long-term Follow-up Evaluation

Abstract

We evaluated vestibular function, especially for positional, head shaking and caloric nystagmus, in 43 patients with vestibular neuronitis, for long periods from the onset. The results suggested that in these cases of vestibular neuronitis, which were studied for more than 10 years after onset of the disease, the disease may still be in the uncompensated stage or may have worsened in the partially compensated stage.
