Epidemiology
The actual incidence and prevalence of labyrinthitis are unknown. Viral infections are the most common cause of labyrinthitis. They typically occur in adults, whereas purulent bacterial labyrinthitis is more common in children less than 2 years old who are otitis-prone. Bacterial labyrinthitis is a rare complication of otitis media and meningitis.[2][3]
