Follow-up study of the vestibular neuronitis was made comparing the findings of the computed galvanic body-sway test.The computed galvanographs, which were obtained from patients with vestibular neuronitis, showed a peculiar “slow and sluggish pattern”.In the process of the illness, this slow and sluggish pattern changed its appearance and came to resemble the pattern obtained from the opposite healthy side.Improvement of the abnormal pattern was observed in seven patients (observation period : 6 months to 6 years, averaged 33 months). Three other patients (observation period : one month to one year, averaged 5.3 months) showed no marked change in the pattern.These findings suggested that there is some possibility of recovery of the conductibility of the vestibular nerve which was affected by vestibular neuronitis.
