Extensive research has been conducted on the pathophysiological sequelae of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Newer symptoms pertaining to cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems, apart from the recognized respiratory system, are constantly being reported. We report a case of a 22-year-old female with a seven-day history of COVID-19 who presented to the emergency department with an acute vertigo attack associated with nausea and vomiting for three hours. Physical examination and audiometry showed no neurological and auditory deficits; she was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis. The patient was managed with betahistine hydrochloride and an antihistamine. There was a complete resolution of symptoms after seven days. There have been reports of new-onset vertigo associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, but more well-designed studies are needed to establish an association between COVID-19 and vertigo.
针对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）病毒的病理生理后遗症已开展了广泛研究。除了已公认的呼吸系统症状外，与心血管、胃肠道和神经系统相关的新症状也不断被报道。我们报告一例22岁女性病例，该患者有7天的2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）病史，因急性眩晕发作伴恶心、呕吐3小时前来急诊科就诊。体格检查和听力测试未发现神经和听觉缺陷；她被诊断为前庭神经炎。该患者接受了盐酸倍他司汀和抗组胺药治疗。7天后症状完全缓解。已有关于与SARS-CoV-2感染相关的新发眩晕的报道，但需要更多设计完善的研究来确定COVID-19与眩晕之间的关联。
