Abstract:
Refractory vertigo is a disease entity characterized by uncontrollable recurrent vertigo and/or persistent dizziness instability, which can be caused by various diseases. The main pathogenesis may be related to recurrent episodes of the primary disease and compensatory dysfunction of the vestibular system. Understanding the common causes and pathological mechanisms of refractory vertigo, and comprehensively analyzing the relevant factors that cause symptoms, can facilitate accurate diagnosis and effective differentiation, and then provide comprehensive treatment targeting various factors such as etiology, symptoms, functional status, and psychological problems, ultimately achieving the goal of controlling the occurrence and development of refractory vertigo. Based on the characteristics of symptoms, this article focuses on analyzing possible mechanisms, relative factors, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of common diseases that lead to refractory vertigo, effective coping strategies, key issues that need attention, and future prospects, in order to improve clinical diagnostic accuracy and treatment effectiveness.
