OBJECTIVES To analyze the clinical characteristics of vestibular neuritis patients with minimal canal paresis (canal paresis <25%). METHODS Patients clinically diagnosed with vestibular neuritis and treated at our institute (n=201) underwent otoneurological examination and vestibular function tests. Patients were categorized in terms of the results of caloric testing (canal paresis<25%, n=58;...

Unilateral vestibular dysfunction represents either vestibular overactivity as benign positional vertigo or underactivity as in labyrinthitis or both, at different times, as in a Ménière’s attack. Unilateral dysfunction could also be central rather than peripheral, such as in a lateral medullary syndrome. Unilateral vestibular dysfunction ...

Vestibular migraine (VM) is one of the most common causes of episodic vertigo. We reviewed the results of multiple vestibular function tests in a cohort of VM patients who were diagnosed with VM according to the diagnostic criteria of the Barany Society and the International Headache Society and assessed the efficacy of each for predicting the prognosis in VM patients. A retrospective chart ana...
