Definition

Bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) results from impaired vestibular function of both inner ears. It is clinically characterised by postural imbalance and unsteadiness of gait that worsens in darkness and on uneven ground, head or body movement-induced oscillopsia. If known, the etiology should be added to the diagnosis.
