If not enough oxygen-rich blood reaches a part of the body, this is called ischemia. If organs and cells go without oxygen for too long, this leads to damage known as an infarction. A labyrinth infarction is therefore damage to the inner ear caused by a loss of oxygenated blood supply.<\/p><p>A labyrinth infarction can lead to sudden loss of balance and unilateral hearing loss, also known as acute vestibular syndrome. In most cases, acute vestibular syndrome is caused by vestibular neuritis.<\/p><p>A labyrinthine infarction is much rarer than vestibular neuritis, but more dangerous. A labyrinthine infarction is a type of minor stroke and can be a warning sign that a major stroke is on the way.
