Idiopathic bilateral vestibulopathy
MONDO:0015743Idiopathic bilateral vestibulopathy is a rare otorhinolaryngologic disease characterized by dysfunction of both peripheral labyrinths or of the eighth nerves, which presents with persistent unsteadiness of gait (particularly in darkness, during eye closure or under impaired visual conditions, or when standing/walking on uneven, soft or wobbly ground) and oscillopsia associated with head movements. The disease may be progressive, presenting no episodes of vertigo, or sequential, presenting recurrent episodes of vertigo.

Balance-Restoring implant shows promise for dizziness sufferers
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study follows 15 adults (ages 22–90) with severe, long-term balance disorders caused by inner ear damage. Participants have already received a vestibular implant, a device that electrically stimulates the balance nerve to help restore steadiness and clear vision during movem…
