Overview
For the majority of underlying causes of vertigo, the mainstay of treatment is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either tumor associated vertigo, cholesteatoma, and/or when it does not respond to multiple medical therapies.
Surgery
- Following etiologies could benefit from a surgical procedure after the mainstay of therapy has failed.
- Ménière’s disease: Decompress endolymphatic sac, labyrinthectomy, Vestibular nerve section[1].
- Acoustic neuroma: For large, symptomatic, growing tumor one of the following treatment is helpful after weighing risks and benefits:radiotherapy, radiosurgery or surgical removal.
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigoFor resistant and severe cases occlusion of semi-circular canal may be helpful.
