Brazilian president diagnosed with labyrinthitis after surgery

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been diagnosed with labyrinthitis, following a sudden vertigo attack.

Labyrinthitis is an inner ear infection, which causes the labyrinth inside the ear to become inflamed, affecting hearing and balance.

Medical teams conducted imaging scans and blood tests for the 79-year-old president, all of which returned normal results, according to a medical bulletin from the Sirio-Libanes Hospital on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.

Physicians advised Silva to observe strict rest at his official residence, resulting in the cancellation of his official agenda.

The diagnosis came just months after the Brazilian president underwent emergency surgery for an intracranial hemorrhage in December 2024.

His recovery had been deemed stable following a CT scan on January 27, which allowed him to resume air travel and daily exercises.
