Abstract
Background: Labyrinthitis, an inner ear infection affecting the membranous labyrinth, typically presents with symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, and hearing loss. However, there is limited epidemiological data on this condition. Purpose: This case report presents the results of audiovestibular evaluation and vestibular rehabilitation regarding unilateral sudden hearing loss and acute vestibular syndrome caused by rare labyrinthitis in a pediatric patient. Research Design: This is a case report. Study Sample: The study sample included a 5-year-old girl with unilateral sudden hearing loss and acute vestibular syndrome. Results: The patient with labyrinthitis, diagnosed early after comprehensive audiological and vestibular evaluation, benefited from medical treatment and vestibular rehabilitation. Conclusions: This report objectively focuses on the importance of early medical treatment, regular audiovestibular follow-up, and vestibular rehabilitation in a pediatric patient with labyrinthitis.
