Vestibular Neuritis, also known as Vestibular Neuronitis, occurs when a viral infection triggers inflammation in the vestibular nerve. This nerve is crucial for maintaining balance, and its impairment can result in dizziness and imbalance. Common viral infections, such as a cold, flu, or sore throat, can lead to this inflammation.
Labyrinthitis and Vestibular Neuritis share similar characteristics. In Vestibular Neuritis, only the vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve is inflamed, affecting balance. In contrast, Labyrinthitis affects both parts of the vestibulocochlear nerve, leading to balance and hearing issues.
Diagnosis involves several tests to evaluate the function of the vestibular system:
A normal neurological examination is typical, and over a few days, vestibular symptoms usually subside, reducing sensations of spinning. Neurovegetative symptoms like nausea and vomiting also reduce, although imbalance may persist for some time. If vertigo is accompanied by unusual headaches or neurological symptoms, a brain MRI is recommended to rule out central pathology.
Treatment consists of managing the symptoms of Vestibular Neuritis and initiating vestibular rehabilitation as early as possible.
Managing Symptoms
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation aims to retrain the brain to adapt to changes in balance function, a process known as vestibular compensation. This includes evaluating and targeting specific balance functions:
Based on the evaluation, customized vestibular rehabilitation exercises are recommended to the patient.
Balance Exercises
Balance exercises help the brain adjust to new circumstances and maintain stability despite confusing signals from the dysfunctional balance system. These exercises are tailored to the patient’s condition and progress, performed 2-3 times a day. Specific instructions on how to perform the exercises and home safety tips are provided to prevent falls. In cases where home-based exercises are ineffective, rehabilitation under a therapist’s guidance is necessary.
