Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Vertigo is a common symptom with diverse causes affecting the central and peripheral vestibular systems.
  • Patients typically present with four main clinical syndromes: acute unilateral vestibular hypofunction, transient vestibular dysfunction, positional vertigo, and bilateral vestibulopathies.

Observation:

  • While common disorders cause typical presentations, less common entities are crucial for differential diagnosis.
  • Understanding these less frequent causes is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective patient care.

Findings:

  • This article reviews the clinical presentation of less common causes of vestibular syndromes.
  • It explores differential diagnoses for patients presenting with various vertigo symptoms.

Implications:

  • Accurate identification of less common vestibular disorders improves patient outcomes.
  • Comprehensive management strategies, including medical and nonmedical approaches, are discussed for these conditions.
