A clinical case of vestibular neuritis

Relevance. Vestibular neuritis is a serious condition that can significantly impair the quality of life, particularly during pregnancy. Studying such cases is crucial for medical advancement as it helps to better understand the mechanisms behind the onset and progression of the disease, as well as to develop effective diagnostic and treatment methods. Despite a significant number of studies on vestibular neuritis, cases occurring in pregnant women have been insufficiently explored. This creates a gap in knowledge that needs to be filled to improve medical care for pregnant patients. Aim. To introduce the scientific community to a clinical case of vestibular neuritis in a pregnant woman, highlighting the importance of timely differential diagnosis with acute cerebrovascular accidents and other pathologies. Materials and methods. The article presents a case of vestibular neuritis in a pregnant woman. The study utilized the following methods: collection of medical history and complaints, thorough analysis of the patient's medical history and current symptoms, clinical examination, laboratory tests, instrumental examinations, and consultations with specialists. Results. 1. Important aspects of differential diagnosis have been described. 2. Adequate diagnostic measures were undertaken for prompt diagnosis. 3. Clinical recovery of the patient after childbirth. Conclusions. 1. It is important to diagnose and treat this condition promptly to minimize negative consequences. A comprehensive neurological examination should be conducted, including vestibulometry, CT or MRI, as well as consultations with other relevant specialists. 2. Recovery from vestibular neuritis can be spontaneous after childbirth. This emphasizes the possibility of complete restoration of vestibular function in pregnant women. 3. The results of this study can be beneficial for neurologists, obstetricians, and other specialists working with pregnant patients, contributing to improved medical care and enhanced quality of life for patients.
