Introduction[edit | edit source]
As discussed here, there are a number of conditions that can cause dysfunction of the vestibular system. Examples of vestibular pathologies include:
- Vestibular labyrinthitis or neuritis (also termed neuronitis)
- Labyrinthine concussion (unilateral vestibular lesions or bilateral vestibular lesions) or post-concussion syndrome
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
- Perilymphatic fistula
- Primary endolymphatic hydrops (Meniere’s disease)
- Secondary endolymphatic hydrops (traumatic, infections etc)
- Utricular dysfunctions
- Superior canal dehiscence syndrome (congenital, but trauma can also ‘activate’)
- Central vestibulopathies (sensory integration dysfunctions)
- Drug toxicity
- Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
- Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS)
A detailed subjective and objective assessment is necessary when treating patients with vertigo or dizziness to determine the most effective treatment for each patient.
