Sažetak
Vertigo is the illusion of motion, usually rotational motion. Vertigo is among the most common symptoms causing patients to visit a physician, and as patients become older the incidence of vertigo increases. Vertigo can be caused by an inner ear disturbance – peripheral vertigo, by a central disturbance – central vertigo, by systemic diseases, or it can be psychogenic. The most common causes of vertigo are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, acute vestibular neuronitis, Méniére’s disease, migraine, anxiety disorders, vertebrobasilar ischemia and tumors of the pontocerebellar angle. It is important to distinct between peripheral and central vertigo in order to guide management decisions. In this article a differential diagnosis of vertigo is presented.
