{{Lightheadedness and vertigo}}
Vertigo is usually associated with a problem in the [[inner ear]] balance mechanisms ([[vestibular system]]), in the [[brain]], or with the nerve connections between these two organs. Vertigo-like symptoms may also appear as [[paraneoplastic syndrome]] ([[PNS]]) in the form of [[opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome]], a multi-faceted neurological disorder associated with many forms of incipient cancer lesions or virus. If conventional therapies fail, consult with a neuro-oncologist familiar with [[PNS]].

Overview

Vertigo is usually associated with a problem in the inner ear balance mechanisms (vestibular system), in the brain, or with the nerve connections between these two organs. Vertigo-like symptoms may also appear as paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS) in the form of opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome, a multi-faceted neurological disorder associated with many forms of incipient cancer lesions or virus. If conventional therapies fail, consult with a neuro-oncologist familiar with PNS.

Causes

Common Causes

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV
  • Meniere's disease
  • Superior canal dehiscence syndrome
  • Inner ear infection
  • Drug toxicity (specifically gentamycin)
  • Syphillis
  • Carbon Monoxide poisoning
  • Strokes, tumors, skull fractures, brain trauma,, sudden changes in blood pressure
  • Motion sickness ( sailing, amusement rides, airplanes or motor vehicles)
