Abstract
Vestibular neuropathy represents the third most common cause of peripheral vestibular disorders. The clinical picture of the disease is characterized by acute vertigo with vegetative accompaniment. Atypical course is monophasic with the resolution of symptoms within afew days to complete adjustment. In some patients, secondary complications may occur, which we define into three groups: organic, cognitive, and functional. The occurrence of complications and their persistence is often an overlooked issue, which does not receive sufficient attention and can lead to asignificant deterioration in quality of life. Therefore, the management of these patients requires acomprehensive approach and interdisciplinary cooperation between neurologists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. In the following text, the authors attempt to elucidate this issue further (Fig. 1, Ref. 49). Keywords: vestibular neuropathy, secondary complications, vertigo, acute vestibular syndrome.
