Abstract
Little is known about the development of auditory and vestibular disturbance due to head injury, and less is known about the incidence of otoneurological disorders following such injuries. The incidence of otoneurological abnormalities in the immediate post-injury period in patients with minor injuries was investigated by determining wheather there is a risk factor necessitating a more comprehensive assessment of their audio-vestibular function. Deafness is a known sequel to head injury. Vertigo forms part of the post-concussional syndrome, and may be more prevalent in patients claiming compensation. Dizziness following head injury may be a disturbance in the autonomic control of vasomotor tone.
