Abstract:
The development of peripheral vestibular disorders are often thought to be associated with vascular mechanisms, taking into account terminal type of inner ear blood supply and other predisposing factors. A number of studies indicates a high frequency of vascular risk factors in the patients with vestibular neuronitis and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). According to other results, migraine is widely spread among patients with Meniere's disease and BPPV. However currently there is no evidence for casual relationship between vascular factors and development of peripheral vestibulopathy. The only exclusion is labyrinthine infarction, which develops as a result of posterior circulation disorder. More research is needed in this area.
