Natural History
- If left untreated persistent or permanent vertigo can lead to depression, falls, dependency, decreased physical activity, social and work limitations.[1]
- It can be detrimental if the symptom is not evaluated for an underlying cause as some causes of vertigo can be fatal: Brainstem stroke, Cerebellopontine angle tumor, hypertensive crisis, drug overdose, cerebellar hemorrhage.
Complications
- Complications include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Difficulty performing daily tasks
- Diminished quality of life
- Impaired balance and coordination
Prognosis
- Prognosis of vertigo depends upon treating the underlying cause. However, vertigo due to a tumor has a poor prognosis compared to other causes of vertigo.
