Episodic vertigo, lasting seconds to hours, can stem from peripheral or central causes. This paper reviews otological and neurological diseases linked to these vertigo attacks.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Vestibular System

Context:

  • Distinguishing episodic vertigo from persistent vertigo caused by acute vestibular dysfunction.
  • Understanding the diverse origins of transient vertigo symptoms.

Purpose:

  • To catalog and describe otological and neurological conditions causing episodic vertigo.
  • To provide a differential diagnosis framework for episodic vertigo.

Summary:

  • Episodic vertigo (seconds to hours) differs from acute vestibular loss vertigo.
  • Both peripheral-vestibular and central nervous system disorders can precipitate episodic vertigo.
  • This review focuses on identifying specific otological and neurological diseases responsible for recurrent vertigo attacks.
Keywords:
AtaxiaAttacks of vertigoBalance disordersDizziness

Impact:

  • Aids clinicians in diagnosing the underlying cause of episodic vertigo.
  • Improves patient management by identifying specific treatable conditions.
  • Enhances understanding of vestibular system disorders and their varied presentations.
