Overview of Vestibular Neuronitis

Vestibular neuronitis (also referred to as vestibular neuritis) is a viral infection involving the inner ear, also called the labyrinth, which causes disruption to the peripheral vestibular (balance) system. Vestibular neuronitis is very similar to labyrinthitis without the hearing loss that occurs with labyrinthitis.
