What causes Vertigo?
- Most often vertigo is caused by
disturbance in the vestibular system. If vertigo arises from a disorder of the
ear and other structures around it, it is called Peripheral Vertigo.
- The most common types of
Peripheral Vestibular Vertigo are :
1.Benign paroxymal
positional vertigo (BPPV)
2.Recurrent
Vestibulopathy
3.Meniere’s disease
4. Vestibular neuritis
BPPV – Benign Paroxymal Positional Vertigo
- Benign
Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (or BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo, a
false sensation of spinning.1
- Benign – it is not life-threatening
- Paroxysmal – it comes in sudden, brief spells
- Positional – it gets triggered by certain head
positions or movements
- Vertigo – a false sense of rotational movement
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BPPV EPISODE?
- BPPV is a
mechanical problem in the inner ear. It occurs when some of the calcium
carbonate crystals (otoconia) that are normally embedded in gel in the utricle
become dislodged and migrate into one or more of the 3 fluid-filled
semicircular canals, where they are not supposed to be. When enough of these
particles accumulate in one of the canals they interfere with the normal fluid
movement that these canals use to sense head motion, causing the inner ear to
send false signals to the brain.

disease is a disorder of
