Vestibular disease is a common condition in veterinary medicine. Any dysfunction in this system can lead to very distressing signs for the patient and the client. Therefore, distinguishing between central and peripheral disease is important to guide further diagnostics and prognosis. OVERVIEW.
peripheral vestibular disease.1,4 The sympathetic nerve supply to the eye is near the vestibular nerve between the petrous temporal bone and tympanic bulla ( FIGURE 1 ).
Dogs and cats with peripheral vestibular disease typically display head tilt, spontaneous (resting) nystagmus, strabismus, and ataxia. Falling and rolling may also be observed. Other cranial nerves that can be affected because of their proximity to CN VIII in the petrous temporal bone are CN VII and the sympathetic innervation to the eye (i.e ...

To put it more simply, you won't know which way is up, whether or not you are standing up straight or slanted, and you'll feel dizzy. The following are signs of vestibular disease: Ataxia (lack of coordination without weakness or involuntary spasms - in other words, stumbling and staggering around). Motion sickness.
Neurologic examination can confirm whether the vestibular dysfunction is of peripheral or central nervous system origin. Idiopathic vestibular syndrome is the most common cause of peripheral vestibular disease in dogs and, despite its dramatic clinical presentation, can improve without intervention.
This article reviews functional vestibular neuroanatomy as well as the diagnosis and treatment of common causes of small animal vestibular disease.
