Regarding the high rate of males, it is known that Wallenberg's syndrome occurs more frequently in males; as for the higher frequency of males in the vestibular neuritis group, the inclusion criterion of MRI was causative, since males with vestibular neuritis more often had vascular risk factors, which prompted us to perform an MRI
