Abstract
Respiratory symptoms are the most common presentation of an acute COVID-19 infection, but thromboembolic phenomena, encephalopathy and other neurological symptoms have been reported. With these case series, we present multiple presentations of COVID-19 induced vestibular symptoms namely dizziness, vertigo and nystagmus. The patients reported in this case series are from different parts of the world, belong to different age groups and had manifested these symptoms in different periods of the pandemic. The pathophysiology of vestibular neuritis induced by COVID-19 is similar to any other viral infection. Whether in the inpatient or outpatient settings, COVID-19 should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with these symptoms, irrespective of the presence of respiratory symptoms or hypoxia.Entities:
