Recent onset disequilibrium mimicking acute vestibulopathy in early multiple sclerosis
2014
Abstract The differential diagnosis of patients with acute unilateral vestibulopathy rests in the proper clinical assessment and use of selected tests of vestibular function. In case of a central nervous system lesion as in Multiple Sclerosis, the case shown here, it is of particular importance to observe congruency between severity of symptoms and signs and, of topographic diagnosis. We report a case of a 37 year old woman with recent onset disequilibrium that after careful analysis of the different test results several incongruences were found; this prompted a radiological study that provided the clue to diagnosis. After treatment the patient recovered completely not only clinically but also in vestibular deficit.
