Abstract

Background: The current pandemic of COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality primarily associated with respiratory failure. However, it has also been reported that COVID-19 can evolve into a nervous system infection. The direct and indirect mechanisms of damage associated with SARS-CoV-2 neuropathogenesis could affect our sensory functionality, including hearing and balance.

Summary: In order to investigate a possible association between SARS-CoV-2 viral infection and possible damage to the vestibular system, this review describes the main findings related to diagnosing and evaluating otoneurological pathologies.

Key messages: The clinical evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 causes acute damage to the vestibular system that would not leave significant sequelae. Recovery is similar to vestibular pathologies such as vestibular neuronitis and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Further basic science, clinical, and translational research is needed to verify and understand the short- and long-term effects of COVID-19 on vestibular function.

COVID-19 与前庭症状和评估：综述。

背景：目前由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）引起的 COVID-19 大流行导致了严重的发病率和死亡率，主要与呼吸衰竭有关。不过，也有报道称 COVID-19 可演变为神经系统感染。摘要：为了研究 SARS-CoV-2 病毒感染与前庭系统可能受到的损害之间可能存在的联系，本综述介绍了与诊断和评估耳神经系统病变有关的主要发现：临床证据表明，SARS-CoV-2 会对前庭系统造成急性损伤，但不会留下严重后遗症。恢复情况与前庭神经元炎和良性阵发性位置性眩晕等前庭病症相似。要验证和了解 COVID-19 对前庭功能的短期和长期影响，还需要进一步的基础科学、临床和转化研究。

期刊介绍： ''Audiology and Neurotology'' provides a forum for the publication of the most-advanced and rigorous scientific research related to the basic science and clinical aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal seeks submission of cutting edge research opening up new and innovative fields of study that may improve our understanding and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems, their central connections and their perception in the central nervous system. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines.
