  • Recurrent vestibulopathy: natural course and prognostic factors

  • R B van Leeuwen, T D Bruintjes
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 124 / Issue 1 / January 2010
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    24 September 2009, pp. 19-22
    Print publication:

  • Objective:

    To evaluate the natural course of recurrent vestibulopathy.

    Study design:

    Retrospective analysis.

    Patients:

    One hundred and five adult patients with attacks of vertigo without auditory or neurological symptoms.

    Methods:

    A structured interview was conducted over the telephone, 12 to 62 months after the patient's first visit to the out-patient department.

    Results:

    Two-thirds of patients experienced spontaneous resolution of vertigo, while one-third continued to have symptoms. The diagnosis was subsequently changed to migraine in 2 per cent of patients and to Ménière's disease in 1 per cent.

    Conclusion:

    The prognosis for patients with recurrent vestibulopathy is good. In a few cases, the diagnosis is provisional and will be subsequently changed to migraine or Ménière's disease.
