Vertigo is typically classified into one of two categories depending on the location of the damaged vestibular pathway. These are peripheral or central vertigo. Each category has a distinct set of characteristics and associated findings. Vertigo can also occur after long flights or boat journeys where the mind gets used to turbulence, resulting in a person feeling as if they are moving up and down. This usually subsides after a few days.

Overview

Vertigo is typically classified into one of two categories depending on the location of the damaged vestibular pathway. These are peripheral or central vertigo. It can also be classified into 3 sub groups based on duration of vertigo. Each category has a distinct set of characteristics and associated findings.

Classification

Vertigo may be classified according to location of dysfunction into 2 subtypes and according to time course/duration into 3 subtypes:
