warning

"Preferentially, the superior division of the vestibular nerve is affected, which leads to involvement of the superior (anterior) and horizontal semicircular canals 9, however, both divisions can also be affected concurrently 7. Viral infections are thought to be the commonest causes of acute unilateral vestibulopathy, with bacterial infections being much less common. The most common viral cause of acute unilateral vestibulopathy is herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) 2, but other implicated viruses potentially include measles, rubella, mumps, Epstein-Barr virus, influenza, and varicella/herpes zoster."

Line 20:498 · 'HSV' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"MRI with contrast is sometimes requested in order to exclude other causes of sudden onset dizziness and vertigo such as stroke (especially AICA territory strokes) and brain tumours, especially in the elderly. However, typically the MRI is normal in acute unilateral vestibulopathy."

Line 23:146 · 'AICA' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"After recovery of the symptoms, balance and dizziness disorders can last for several months in some patients."

Line 18:26 · Use the Oxford comma in 'symptoms, balance and dizziness'.
