Vertigo Causes

A balance disorder is usually the cause of Vertigo. A balance disorder may be the result of problems with your vestibular system.

This system consists of the inner ear, the vestibular nerve, cerebellum and brainstem.

The vestibular system is responsible for coordinating our body's movement while maintaining objects in our visual focus. So when you move your head signals are sent to the labyrinth, which is located in the inner ear.

The labyrinth then sends the movement information to the vestibular nerve. The Vestibular nerve then transmits the information to the brainstem and cerebellum.

There are a variety of factors that can interfere with this process that will result in Vertigo.

The problem can occur either in the inner ear or in the brain. Below is a list of possible Vertigo causes:

Inflammation of the inner ear: when this condition occurs you may suddenly experience Vertigo and even some loss of hearing. This condition is normally referred to as labyrinthitis.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: this is the most common cause of Vertigo and is usually onset by sudden head movements.
Migraines: Vertigo usually occurs before one experiences these types of headaches.
Menieres Disease: this condition consists of several symptoms including; Tinnitus, hearing loss and Vertigo.
Trauma to the head and neck: any great and sudden force experienced on the neck or head can also lead to Vertigo. Often patients complain of Vertigo after experiencing whiplash.
Cerebellar hemorrhage: this occurs when there is bleeding at the back of the brain. If you suffer from this condition you will have symptoms of Vertigo, have difficulty in walking and won't be able to look towards the side of the brain that is bleeding. If you are experiencing these symptoms you should consult your GP immediately.
Multiple sclerosis: this is a disease that affects the nervous system and is often accompanied by Vertigo. People who suffer from this condition are unable to move their eyes past the midline of their nose.
