AbstractAbstract PDF
Cogan syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by intraocular inflammation and vestibulo-auditory dysfunction. The exact etiology of Cogan syndrome is still unknown, but is currently thought to be an autoimmune disease. Cogan syndrome can be accompanied with various conditions including fever, arthritis, skin rash, aortitis, central or peripheral nerve system involvement, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly and diarrhea. We report a case of Cogan syndrome accompanied with meningitis.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Labyrinthitis causes damage to inner ear structure, and in turn hearing loss and vertigo. Labyrinthitis is classified as otogenic labyrinthitis and meningogenic labyrinthitis. Otogenic labyrinthitis can be diagnosed early through otoscopic examination. However, when there are no characteristic neurologic symptoms in patients with meningogenic labyrinthitis, clinicians can overlook the underlying meningitis and this may lead to the peripheral vertigo. We encountered an unusual case of meningogenic labyrinthitis that is misdiagnosed as peripheral dizziness.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Among various etiologies of bilateral vestibulopathy, meningitis has rarely been reported and no case by varicellazoster meningitis. We experienced a case of bilateral vestibulopathy and aseptic meningitis developed in a 22-year old woman who was previously affected by chicken pox. She had oscillopsia and unsteadiness of gait when the typical skin lesion of chicken pox was improving. Neurootologic examination, bithermal caloric irrigation, and rotary chair test showed the result compatible with complete bilateral vestibulopathy. With mild headache and nausea, her CSF finding revealed aseptic meningitis and the serum antibody for varicella-zoster virus (VZV) was elevated. On the contrary of previous report that associated with bilateral vestibulopathy tend to poorly improved, this patient showed a favorable outcome with recovery of symptoms and caloric test.
