| Abstract |
|
Vertigo is a commonly met symptom from general physicians to specialist. Except peripheral vertigo as like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular neuritis, Meniere’ diseases, diagnosis of other syndromes of vertigo is obscure and difficult. Migrainous
vertigo and vestibular paroxysmia are confounded with migraine and Meniere’s disease. Cerebrovascular disorders are presented
vertigo as its first symptom in 3 to 7%. Cerebellar, brainstem, and genetic disease are also associated with vertigo. We describe
the clinical syndromes of vertigo, pathophysiology of them, and treatment based on journal review. |
