The sensitivity of bedside tests varied from 26% to 98%. This aligns with previous literature, highlighting the challenge of differentiating AUPVP from vestibular pseudoneuritis solely through bedside examination. Although the tests excel in excluding central causes, they are insufficient for diagnosing AUPVP with certainty. In addition, the bedside examination sensitivities vary widely, and early radiological imaging can be misleading. Therefore, this study underlines the necessity of prompt otoneurological testing for accurate exclusion of vestibular pseudoneuritis and thus improve patient outcomes.
