==Signs and symptoms==
The main symptoms are severe [[vertigo (medical)|vertigo]] and [[Pathologic nystagmus|nystagmus]]. The most common symptom for vestibular neuritis is the onset of vertigo that has formed from an ongoing infection or trauma.<ref>{{Citation|last1=Dewyer|first1=Nicholas A.|title=Inner Ear Infections (Labyrinthitis)|date=2018|work=Infections of the Ears, Nose, Throat, and Sinuses|pages=79–88|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-319-74834-4|last2=Kiringoda|first2=Ruwan|last3=McKenna|first3=Michael J.|doi=10.1007/978-3-319-74835-1_7}}</ref> The dizziness sensation that is associated with vertigo is thought to be from the inner ear labyrinth.<ref>{{Citation|last1=Murdin|first1=Louisa|chapter=Betahistine for symptoms of vertigo|date=2013-08-11|pages=CD010696|editor-last=The Cochrane Collaboration|publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd|language=en|doi=10.1002/14651858.cd010696|last2=Hussain|first2=Kiran|last3=Schilder|first3=Anne GM|title=Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews}}</ref> Rapid and undesired eye motion ([[pathologic nystagmus|nystagmus]]) often results from the improper indication of rotational motion. Nausea, anxiety, and a general ill feeling are common due to the distorted balance signals that the brain receives from the inner ear system.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Table 1: The Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in cathepsin B protein mined from literature (PMID: 16492714).|doi = 10.7717/peerj.7425/table-1|doi-access=free}}</ref> Other common symptoms include [[tinnitus]], ear ache, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Infections of the Inner Ear|url=https://vestibular.org/article/diagnosis-treatment/types-of-vestibular-disorders/labyrinthitis-and-vestibular-neuritis/
==Causes==
Line 41:
Acute localized [[ischemia]] of these structures also may be an important cause. Especially in children, vestibular neuritis may be preceded by symptoms of a common cold. However, the causative mechanism remains uncertain.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/TOPIC637.HTM | title=Vestibular Neuronitis | author=Keith A Marill |access-date=2008-06-28}}</ref>
This can also be brought on by pressure changes such as those experienced while [[Aviation|flying]] or [[scuba diving]].<ref name="pmid2317181">{{cite journal |vauthors=Martin-Saint-Laurent A, Lavernhe J, Casano G, Simkoff A |title=Clinical aspects of inflight incapacitations in commercial aviation |journal=Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine |volume=61 |issue=3 |pages=256–60 |date=March 1990 |pmid=2317181 }}</ref><ref name=farmer>{{cite conference |editor=Farmer, Jr JC |title=Labyrinthine Dysfunction During Diving |conference=1st [[Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society]] Workshop. |volume=UHMS Publication Number WS6-15-74. |publisher=Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society |year=1973 |pages=11 |url=http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/4291 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007191953/http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/4291 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=October 7, 2008 |access-date=2009-03-11}}</ref><ref name="pmid4619861">{{cite journal |author=Kennedy RS |title=General history of vestibular disorders in diving |journal=Undersea Biomedical Research |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=73–81 |date=March 1974 |pmid=4619861 |url=http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/2663 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703175002/http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/2663 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=July 3, 2009 |access-date=2009-03-11}}</ref>
