Abstract
Acute unilateral (idiopathic) vestibular paralysis, also known as vestibular neuritis, is the second commonest cause of vertigo. It was first described by Ruttin in 1909 and later by Nylen (1924). The term “vestibular neuronitis” coined by Hallpike (1949) and Dix and Hallpike (1952) should be replaced by “vestibular neuritis” because the neuron itself cannot become inflamed.
