    Vestibulopathies are disorders of the inner ear.They may include bilateral vestibulopathy, [1] central vestibulopathy, [2] post traumatic vestibulopathy, [3] peripheral vestibulopathy, [4] recurrent vestibulopathy, [5] visual vestibulopathy, [6] and neurotoxic vestibulopathy, [7] among others.

  4. Vestibular rehabilitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_rehabilitation

    The term "vestibular" refers to the inner ear system with its fluid-filled canals that allow for balance and spatial orientation. Some common vestibular disorders include vestibular neuritis, Ménière's disease, and nerve compression. Vestibular dysfunction can exist unilaterally, affecting only one side of the body, or bilaterally, affecting ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulocerebellar_syndrome

    The symptoms of vestibulocerebellar syndrome vary among patients but are typically a unique combination of ocular abnormalities including nystagmus, poor or absent smooth pursuit (ability of the eyes to follow a moving object), strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), diplopia (double vision), oscillopsia (the sensation that stationary objects in the visual field are oscillating) and abnormal ...

    Motion sickness/motion intolerance: a disjunction between visual stimulation, vestibular stimulation, and/or proprioception; Visual exposure to nearby moving objects (examples of optokinetic stimuli include passing cars and falling snow) Other diseases: (labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease, and migraine, [27] etc.)

  7. Inner ear decompression sickness - Wikipedia

    Combinations of vestibular and cochlear symptoms were present in a significant minority of cases, and additional skin and neurological symptoms were also present in a significant minority of cases. In the majority of cases a large right to left shunt was detected, and associated with right sided lateralisation of inner ear symptoms.

  8. Vestibular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

    The most common vestibular diseases in humans are vestibular neuritis, a related condition called labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease, and BPPV. In addition, the vestibular system's function can be affected by tumours on the vestibulocochlear nerve , an infarct in the brain stem or in cortical regions related to the processing of vestibular ...

  9. Autoimmune inner ear disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_inner_ear_disease

    Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) was first defined by Dr. Brian McCabe in a landmark paper describing an autoimmune loss of hearing. [2] The disease results in progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) that acts bilaterally and asymmetrically, and sometimes affects an individual's vestibular system .
