What is Vertigo?
Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis in itself. It refers to the illusion of movement most often described as a sensation that you are spinning, or that the environment is moving around you, even when you’re perfectly still.
Vertigo is typically associated with dysfunction in the vestibular system, which includes parts of the inner ear and brain that help control balance and eye movements.
Peripheral Vertigo originating in the inner ear
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): The most common cause. Triggered by changes in head position, due to displaced otolith crystals inside the semicircular canals.
Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, often viral.
Ménière’s Disease: A chronic condition involving fluid buildup in the inner ear, leading to episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus.
Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of both vestibular and auditory components of the inner ear, causing vertigo plus hearing loss.
Central Vertigo originating in the brain
Vestibular Migraine: Migraine that presents with vertigo and sensory disturbance, even without headache.
Multiple Sclerosis or stroke: May impact the brainstem or cerebellum, affecting balance.
Tumors (e.g., acoustic neuroma): Can compress vestibular structures.
