Patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction (PVD) suffer from cognitive difficulties in several visuo-spatial as well as non-visuo-spatial domains. Associations of PVD and executive problems have been made, but no study investigated a range of different executive domains in patients with PVD. We administered a broad neuropsychological test battery of basic and complex executive functions to 84 patients with different kinds of PVD (34 chronic bilateral, 29 chronic unilateral, 21 acute unilateral) and 49 healthy controls matched for age, education, sex, and handedness. Descriptive data analysis showed that patients with PVD scored lower in specific executive domains than healthy controls. Results indicate that patients with PVD should be screened for specific executive impairments and could benefit from a cognitive training targeting executive functions.
