- A committee reviewed scientific literature and created clinical questions to guide the treatment recommendations, leveraging both research findings and expert opinions.
- The results included established diagnostic criteria and tailored treatment approaches for vestibular neuritis at various stages (acute, subacute, chronic), emphasizing the guidelines as a key resource for practitioners.
Article Abstract
Objective: To provide diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for vestibular neuritis in accordance with the Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Vestibular Neuritis 2021.
Methods: The Committee for Clinical Practice Guidelines for Vestibular Neuritis was entrusted with a review of the relevant scientific literature on the above topic. Clinical Questions (CQs) concerning the treatment of vestibular neuritis were produced, and a search of the literature was conducted to identify studies related to the CQs. The recommendations were based on the literature review and the expert opinion of a subcommittee.
Results: We proposed the diagnostic criteria for vestibular neuritis, as well as answers to CQs, recommendations, and evidence levels for the treatment of vestibular neuritis.
Conclusion: The diagnostic criteria for vestibular neuritis were based on clinical history and examination findings after completing the differential diagnosis process. The treatment of vestibular neuritis was divided into acute, subacute, and chronic stages. The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Vestibular Neuritis 2021 should be used as a reference in the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular neuritis.

Vestibular Function in Patients With Vestibular Neuritis Experiencing Prodromal Dizziness.

Introduction: It is unknown whether prodromal dizziness (PD) before an attack of vestibular neuritis (VN) has an association with peripheral vestibular lesions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the severity of vestibular dysfunction has an association with the presence of PD.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 88 consecutive unilateral VN patients with unilateral canal paresis in caloric testing.
Spontaneous Nystagmus Violating the Alexander's Law: Neural Substrates and Mechanisms.

Alexander's law states that spontaneous nystagmus increases when looking in the direction of fast-phase and decreases during gaze in slow-phase direction. Disobedience to Alexander's law is occasionally observed in central nystagmus, but the underlying neural circuit mechanisms are poorly understood. In a retrospective analysis of 2,652 patients with posterior circulations stroke, we found a violation of Alexander's law in one or both directions of lateral gaze in 17 patients with lesions of unilateral lateral medulla affecting the vestibular nucleus.

Objective: Acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy or vestibular neuritis (AUPV/VN) manifests as acute onset vertigo, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and moderate gait instability. It is suspected when vestibular hypofunction is documented on video-head impulse (video-HITs) and caloric tests in the presence of contralesionally beating horizontal-torsional nystagmus. Herein, we report patients presenting with acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) showing selective otolithic dysfunction in the presence of normal caloric and video-HITs and abnormal enhancement of the peripheral vestibular structures on MRI.

Among the various side-effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations, vestibular neuritis (VN) has been found to have some interesting association with the vaccinations. This paper mainly focuses on exploring different associations between COVID-19 vaccination and VN. A systematic search was conducted on electronic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane using MeSH terms for case reports published until July 2023.

Objective: To evaluate the plasma levels of the otoconial proteins, otoconin-90 and otolin-1, in individuals diagnosed with vestibular neuritis (VN) and determine the feasibility of using these proteins as biomarkers for VN.
Methods: In this preliminary study, 30 patients diagnosed with VN and 70 healthy individuals were recruited and followed to confirm whether they had benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) during the following time. The recorded data included measurements of height, weight, and history of diabetes mellitus or hypertension.
