Abstract
|
|
|
|
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease characterized by multiple areas of demyelination, inflammation, and glial scarring in the central nervous system. MS is the most common chronic and usually progressive neurologic disease whose clinical course varies from a benign and symptom-free disease to a rapidly progressive and disabling disorder. MS can be presented with various symptoms, but isolated vertigo, represented in only 5%, is very rare. Nevertheless, in such a case, differential diagnosis of peripheral vestibular disease is very important for neuro-otologist. We recently experienced a 39 year-old female patient of multiple sclerosis with isolated vertigo mimicking vestibular neuritis. We report our case with a review of literature.
