Abstract

Purpose of review: Recent updates with clinical implications in the field of neuro-otology are reviewed.

Recent findings: Important updates relating to several neuro-otologic disorders have been reported in recent years. For benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV), we provide updates on the characteristics and features of the short arm variant of posterior canal BPPV. For the acute vestibular syndrome, we report important updates on the use of video-oculography in clinical diagnosis. For autoimmune causes of neuro-otologic symptoms, we describe the clinical and paraclinical features of kelch-like protein 11 encephalitis, a newly-identified antibody associated disorder. For cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome, we report recent genetic insights into this condition.

Summary: This review summarizes important recent updates relating to four hot topics in neuro-otology.
