Bilateral Vestibulopathy Due to Severe Cochlear Otosclerosis: A Well-Known Condition Without Any Favorable Solution

Abstract

Bilateral vestibulopathy is a rare condition. It is one of the most difficult balance problems to treat because nearly all patients experience long-term unsteadiness. In this report, a 39-year-old woman gradually developing chronic dizziness and instability due to bilateral vestibulopathy as a result of progressive severe cochlear otosclerosis was presented with review of the literature.
