Abstract
Purpose of Chapter: This chapter highlights the recent advances in etiology, diagnostic evaluation, and management of vestibular neuritis (VN). Recent Findings: The viral hypothesis has been strengthened with new evidence as the main etiology of VN. Recent evidence indicates that bedside oculomotor findings play a critical role in differentiating VN from stroke. The implementation of cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential, and video head impulse test in vestibular function testing has made it possible to diagnose selective damage of the vestibular nerves. The management of the acute phase of VN is primarily medical, while long-term treatment is designed to improve vestibular compensation. Summary: VN is clearly defined as an important viral inner ear disorder.
期刊介绍：
Material for each volume in this series has been skillfully selected to document the most active areas of otorhinolaryngology and related specialties, such as neuro-otology and oncology. The series reproduces results from basic research and clinical studies pertaining to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, course, prognosis and therapy of a variety of ear, nose and throat disorders. The numerous papers correlating basic research findings and clinical applications are of immense value to all specialists engaged in the ongoing efforts to improve management of these disorders. Acting as a voice for its field, the series has also been instrumental in developing subspecialities into established specialities.
