Disorders Associated With Vertigo

Disorders associated with vertigo group together various conditions that produce the sensation that oneself or the surroundings are spinning or moving, leading to a loss of the sense of balance.

Common causes: Vertigo can originate in the inner ear, where the balance structures are located, or be related to nervous system disturbances, among other causes.

Common symptoms: In addition to the spinning sensation, dizziness, unsteadiness when walking, nausea, vomiting, and, in some cases, hearing changes may appear.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist and the neurologist are the professionals who usually evaluate these conditions. If you experience recurrent or intense episodes of vertigo, a professional assessment helps identify their origin.
