Histology and neuroanatomy suggest a unified mechanism to explain the distribution of lesion patterns in acute vestibular neuropathy.

Published in: Experimental brain research (2021)

Human temporal bone studies have described the distribution of afferent fibers from each of the five organelles in the labyrinth. Data from vestibular tests in patients with vestibular neuritis can be abnormal in almost any pattern. We propose a unified explanation for these patterns, based on histological and neuroanatomical factors.
