Vertigo in the Setting of COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report.

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.
