[Acute unilateral peripheral vestibular upset in herpes simplex infection (author's transl)].

Report on a sudden peripheral vestibular upset 8 days after a serologically evidenced herpes simplex infection. Reference to the significance of virological-serological examinations in any cases of acute vestibular upset, sudden deafness and peripheral facial palsy. Discussion of etiology, pathology and probable localization of this affection, about which medical literature does not contain any relevant observations made in connection with herpes simplex infection. Electronystagmographic control of the course of the disease, demonstrating the complete restitution of the vestibular organ. Thus, justified assumption of rather a peripheral vestibular lesion.
