Fifteen patients with vestibular neuronitis were followed up for the period ranging from 4 months to 5 years. These patients were examined by caloric test and galvanic body sway test (GBST).
The results are as followes.
1 Twe (13.3%) of fifteen patients with canal palsy showed complete restoration of caloric response.
2 Six (50%) of twelve patients showed normal galvanic body sway response at the first examination.
3 Twe (33.3%) of six patients with abnormal galvanic body sway response restored to normal.
4 The restoration of caloric and galvanic response were found in same patients after 1 or 2 years from first examination.
5 In only one patient who showed normal galvanic response at the first examination, galvanic response reduced after nine months.
