Vestibular neuritis is characterized by the acute onset of vertigo, nausea and vomiting, in the absence of hearing loss or tinnitus. There is often evidence of a recent upper respiratory tract infection. The disease follows a benign course of between two days and six weeks. However, the clinical and serologic studies of patients with vestibular neuritis suggest that the viruses may play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Clinical and histopathological evidence suggests that it is caused by an isolated lesion of the vestibular nerve.

Treatment includes hospitalisation, antibiotics,  antivertiginous drugs and antiemetics. Balance exercises may be recommended.
