Vertigo

Vertigo is a clinical symptom characterized by an illusory sensation of motion, most often described as spinning, tilting, or swaying of oneself or the surrounding environment in the absence of actual movement It arises from a sensory mismatch or dysfunction within the vestibular system, which integrates inputs across the inner ear labyrinth, the eighth cranial nerve, and central pathways in the brainstem and cerebellum to maintain balance and spatial orientation Although it can affect individua...

It arises from a sensory mismatch or dysfunction within the vestibular system, which integrates inputs across the inner ear labyrinth, the eighth cranial nerve, and central pathways in the brainstem and cerebellum to maintain balance and spatial orientation Clinically, it frequently presents with objective nystagmus, postural instability, nausea, and vomiting

Although it can affect individuals of any age, vertigo is broadly classified pathophysiologically into peripheral etiologies, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or vestibular neuritis, and central etiologies, including vestibular migraine, stroke, or demyelinating lesions

Clinically, it frequently presents with objective nystagmus, postural instability, nausea, and vomiting
