Vestibular neuritis is an inner ear disorder that affects the vestibulocochlear nerve, causing symptoms such as sudden vertigo, dizziness, balance problems, nausea, and vomiting. It is believed to be caused by inflammation of the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve, often associated with preceding or accompanying viral infections. The condition typically lasts several days, but symptoms can persist for weeks to months before completely resolving. Treatment involves managing symptoms or taking antiviral medications, and the condition is likely to resolve on its own. Vestibular neuritis is not considered dangerous, but the symptoms can be incapacitating. It is important to note that symptoms can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as the exact cause, the area of nerve damage, and the individuals medical history.
