A member asked:
Can cytomegalovirus cause peripheral neuropathy or vestibular neuritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I can only relate to vestibular neuritis and yes it is virtually always a viral infection of the vestibular nerve or the ganglion cells of the vestibular nerve. Cytomegalovirus is one of the viruses that can cause this. It is usually a self limited disease and there is no specific treatment except for symptomatic relief.
