What is vestibular neuronitis?
Vestibular neuronitis is an inflammation of the vestibular nerve, which is located in your inner ear. The vestibular nerve carries balance signals from the inner ear to the brain. When this nerve is inflamed, it causes vertigo - a feeling that you or your surroundings are moving. Vestibular neuronitis usually develops in only one ear at a time. The vertigo can persist for days to weeks during which time the patient may feel better when lying completely still, but is never completely free of the sensation of spinning. The symptoms are usually worse during the initial few days, and gradually improve over the following days to weeks. There are usually no symptoms of hearing loss or ringing of the ears (tinnitus). |
