vertiginous disorders

Vertiginous disorders involve sensations of dizziness or spinning, often caused by disturbances in the inner ear, brain, or nervous system. They can result from conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (brief episodes triggered by head movement), Ménière's disease (episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss), or vestibular neuritis (inner ear inflammation). These disorders affect balance and spatial orientation, leading to feelings of motion or instability. Diagnosis involves examining symptoms, performing balance tests, and sometimes imaging. Treatment varies but can include vestibular rehabilitation, medications, or maneuvers to reposition inner ear crystals, aiming to reduce symptoms and improve stability.
