Overview

In order to reach the underlying cause of vertigo, it is important to first confirm the presence of true vertigo which is usually described as 'room spinning around'. Once that is established next step is to differentiate between the central and peripheral causes of vertigo. Time duration and associated signs and symptoms help in identifying the underlying cause.

History and Symptoms

Important factors in history:

  • Confirm true vertigo:
    • True vertigo is described as the room spinning around the patient.[1]
    • Once true vertigo is established next step is to identify if the origin of dysfunction is central or peripheral.[2]
Distinguishing Feature Peripheral Vertigo Central Vertigo
Nausea Could be severe Variable
Vomiting Could be severe Variable
Hearing loss Common Rare
Tinnitus Common Rare
Other Neurological Symptoms Rare Common



  • The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.

OR

  • The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
  • Symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

History

Patients with vertigo may have a positive history of:

  • described as the room spinning around the patient.[1]
  • [History finding 2]
  • [History finding 3]

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of [disease] include:

  • [Symptom 1]
  • [Symptom 2]
  • [Symptom 3]

Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms of [disease name] include

  • [Symptom 1]
  • [Symptom 2]
  • [Symptom 3]
