Course Description:

The course will review the features of unilateral vestibular dysfunction (excluding BPPV, which
is reviewed in detail in other courses). Common pharmacologic agents utilized in the
management of vestibular-related symptoms and associated rehabilitative implications will be
discussed. Stable and unstable/progressive unilateral disorders will be reviewed along with
appropriateness of vestibular rehabilitation. Content will include a detailed discussion of
vestibular neuritis, anterior vestibular artery ischemia, labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease, vestibular
schwannoma, and superior canal dehiscence. The course will also include a question-and-answer
session with neurotologist Michael Teixido, MD. Indications for further medical
management/diagnostic investigation will be reviewed. The course is appropriate for audiologists
and occupational/physical therapists and assistants.
