Physiological basis for enduring vestibular symptoms

R Rudge 1, BR Chambers 1
PMCID: PMC1083039  PMID: 6978382

Abstract

Four examples of patients who sustained a vestibular insult and did not fully recover over a prolonged period are described. The reasons for this failure of compensation are discussed in relation to the experimental literature, particularly that concerning the importance of extra-vestibular inputs upon the vestibular system.
