Cervical Vertigo: Implication in practice

Abstract

Vertigo and non-vestibular dizziness are the most common complaints in about 20-30% of patients. The various causes of vertigo are sometimes difficult and require careful examination. Some patients suspect that the cause is a pathological process in the cervical vertebrae, known as cervical vertigo. The diagnostic challenges of cervical vertigo are considerable because dizziness and neck pain are common symptoms with complex and multifactorial causes. Some studies related to cervical vertigo are still limited by the lack of defined diagnostic criteria. Through this review article, it is hoped that the diagnosis of cervical vertigo can still be a consideration after eliminating other causes of vertigo. So that patients can get the best management of their complaints.
