Acute unilateral vestibular lesion induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 infection has a wide range of symptoms, with a series of ENT manifestations reported in the pandemic years, some of them being considered specific for the infec­tion, such the loss of smell or taste. Dizziness and postural in­sta­bi­li­ty are common symptoms in COVID-19 patients and are nonspecific, but the onset of the disease with acute uni­la­te­ral peripheral vestibular syndrome, without any other symp­toms, is not very frequent. We report two cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection with acute unilateral peripheral vestibular syndrome onset.
