Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2005, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Vertigo, dizzeness and imbalance are common complaints of patients seen in pratice. Both of the terms are used interchangeable by the patients. Most of the patients seen in a balance clinic have recurrent vertigo. Recurrent vertigo is almost never due to a serious neurological problem. It is almost always due to; benign positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease or migraine. The rest of the patients have an imbalance not vertigo. The clinicians should distinguish vertigo from imbalance, and do the proper tests for evaluating patient with vertigo. In this review, evaluating patients and conditions causing vertigo or imbalance are discussed in detail.
