Psychogenic dizziness, often linked to emotional origins, affects 13.5% of patients presenting with balance issues. Treatment focuses on addressing underlying anxiety and may involve psychiatric consultation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Psychogenic dizziness is a diagnosis of exclusion, characterized by balance dysfunction not explained by organic vestibular disease.
  • It represents a significant portion of dizziness clinic referrals, with 13.5% of patients diagnosed between 1988 and 1991.
  • The condition affects a broad age range but is more prevalent in younger, female patients.

Purpose:

  • To define the characteristics of psychogenic dizziness.
  • To analyze patient demographics and associated symptoms.
  • To evaluate electronystagmographic findings and psychiatric comorbidities.

Summary:

  • Psychogenic dizziness was diagnosed in 180 out of 1,335 patients, predominantly affecting women (113/180) with a mean age of 40.2 years.

  • Key features include continuous dizziness, panic attack symptoms (headache, anxiety, palpitations), stress exacerbation, normal neurotological exams, and reproducible hyperventilation.
  • Electronystagmography revealed normal caloric responses in 63.5% and abnormal findings in the remainder, while psychiatric evaluations indicated anxiety and depression as common comorbidities.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the prevalence and distinct clinical profile of psychogenic dizziness.
    • Underscores the importance of considering emotional factors in unexplained dizziness.
    • Emphasizes the necessity of psychiatric evaluation and anxiety-focused treatment for effective management.
