A discussion led by ‘turnitaround’ on the possible misnomer of vestibular neuritis and the introduction of the term ‘acute vestibulopathy’. This shift aims at avoiding the assumption of viral causes for bouts of vestibular upset. Read more about it here.

‘turnitaround’ also shares their skepticism about the diagnosis of vestibular neuritis due to the difficulty in proving a viral cause with current technology. The term ‘acute unilateral vestibulopathy’ is suggested as more appropriate, sharing their personal suspicion of BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) as an initial misdiagnosis. Find the post here.
