Modern understanding of vestibular neuritis
Vestibular neuronitis (VN) is the third most common cause of acute vestibular vertigo after DPPG and vestibular migraine. Is an acute, probably viral infection of the vestibular ganglion, vestibular nuclei and other retrolabyrinthinestructures. Currently, VN is the third most common cause of acute peripheral vestibulopathy - 3.5-15.5 cases per 100 thousand people [2]. The disease is equally common in men and women, most often at the age of about 40 years. In General, the pathogenesis and course of VN resembles that of idiopathic facial neuropathy (the so-called bell's paralysis of the common cold); hence the close approaches to the treatment of both diseases.
