What accounts for vertigo one year after neuritis vestibularis—anxiety or a dysfunctional vestibular organ?
Abstract
One year after neuritis vestibularis, 29% from a sample of 75 patients still complained of vertigo. The objective of this investigation was to study why patients suffer from persisting vertigo. The alternative hypotheses were that the vertigo experienced could be explained either by a persisting vestibular dysfunction or by psychopathological changes. To elucidate this question, patients were examined with dynamic posturography, the symptom check list (SCL 90 R), the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), the agoraphobic cognitions questionnaire (ALQ) and the body sensations questionnaire (BSQ). After one year, only two patients had overall pathological results in the posturography. Following the assumption that sub-clinical dysfunction of the organs of balance can also lead to an altered body perception in combination with anxiety, the pathological results of posturographic sub-tests were related to experiences of vertigo. Here also there were no significant associations. However, vertigo correlated highly significantly with body-related anxiety and anxiety-related apprehension. In conclusion, chronic vertigo after an acute vestibular disorder could be regarded as a somatopsychic process. Persisting experience of vertigo is not explained by sub-clinical organic changes. Anxiety seems to be the crucial factor in persisting vertigo.

In the citing paper
“No epidemiologic studies are available for PPPD, but its prevalence and incidence may be estimated from research done on patients with PPV, VV, CSD, and chronic dizziness following acute vestibular syndromes [7, 12, 23, 28, 30, 79].”
In the citing paper
“These investigations found PPPD-like chronic dizziness [7, 28, 30] or persistent VV [23] in about 25% of patients after 3–12 months of follow-up, despite otherwise adequate compensation or recovery from the initial illnesses.”
In the citing paper
“Investigators studying PPV, CSD, SMD, and VV have identified pathophysiologic processes that may be applicable to PPPD, including anxiety-related personality traits as a possible risk factor [86, 88, 89] and high levels of anxiety and vigilance about acute symptoms during precipitating events as initial pathologic responses [7, 23, 28, 30].”
In the citing paper
“These initial psychological responses had far greater effects on long-term outcomes than the initial or subsequent states of patients’ peripheral vestibular functioning or vestibulo-ocular reflexes.”
In the citing paper
“Three prospective studies found that high anxiety about dizziness during and after bouts of acute vestibular neuritis or BPPV predicted continued dizziness three [30], six [23], and twelve [28] months later.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
