Follow-up study of the vestibular neuronitis was made comparing the findings of the computed galvanic body-sway test.<BR>The computed galvanographs, which were obtained from patients with vestibular neuronitis, showed a peculiar "slow and sluggish pattern".<BR>In the process of the illness, this slow and sluggish pattern changed its appearance and came to resemble the pattern obtained from the opposite healthy side.<BR>Improvement of the abnormal pattern was observed in seven patients (observation period : 6 months to 6 years, averaged 33 months). Three other patients (observation period : one month to one year, averaged 5.3 months) showed no marked change in the pattern.<BR>These findings suggested that there is some possibility of recovery of the conductibility of the vestibular nerve which was affected by vestibular neuronitis.
