Vestibular neuronitis (VN) is a selective, acute or subacute inflammation of the vestibular nerve. The typical VN clinical picture is generally characterized by signs of isolated vestibular syndrome following a previous upper respiratory tract infection and does not present acoustic symptoms or signs such as hearing impairment or tinnitus at this stage. Patients may also complain of oscillopsia and imbalance. The clinical picture peaks within 1–2 days and resolves in a few weeks. It is the 3rd common cause of peripheral vertigo after benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and Meniere’s disease. It constitutes about 7–10% of all vertigo cases.

Vestibüler Nörinit: Olgu Sunumu

Öz

Vestibülernörinit (VN), vestibüler sinirin selektif, akutya da subakut inflamasyonudur. Tipik VN klinik tablosu, genellikle geçirilmiş bir üst solunum yolu infeksiyonunu takiben izole vestibüler sendrom bulguları ile karakterizedir ve bu süreçte işitme azlığıya da kulak çınlaması gibi akustik semptom ve bulgu vermemektedir. Ayrıca hastalar osilopsi ve dengesizlikten de yakınabilirler. Klinik tablo 1-2 gün içinde pik yapar ve birkaç haftada düzelir. Vestibüler nörinit çoğunlukla süperior vestibüler siniri tutmaktadır. Süperior vestibüler sinir; süperior semisirküler kanal, lateral semsirküler kanal ve utrikülü inerve etmektedir.
