Bilateral vestibulopathy is a relatively widespread and at the same time rarely diagnosed cause of chronic postural instability. Numerous toxic factors, dysmetabolic, autoimmune and neurodegenerative processes can lead to this condition. The main clinical manifestations of bilateral vestibulopathy are balance disorders and visual disturbances (oscillopsia), which can significantly increase the risks of falls in such patients. In addition, cognitive and affective disorders, which also reduce the quality of life in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy, have been described and actively studied in recent years. The diagnosis of bilateral vestibulopathy is based on the results of a clinical neurovestibular study, including a dynamic visual acuity test and a Halmagyi test. A video head impulse test, a bithermal caloric test and a sinusoidal rotation test are used as instrumental methods confirming the dysfunction of the peripheral vestibular system. However, they are still not widespread in neurological practice. Treatment of bilateral vestibulopathy is reduced to vestibular rehabilitation. Encouraging results have been obtained in a number of studies using galvanic vestibular stimulation and the use of vestibular implants. In addition, cognitive rehabilitation methods are currently being developed, which presumably can also improve compensation for bilateral vestibular loss.
