peripheral vertigo

Motion sickness is sometimes classified as a cause of peripheral vertigo.

BPPV is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo.

Patients with peripheral vertigo typically present with mild to moderate imbalance, nausea, vomiting, hearing loss, tinnitus, fullness, and pain in the ear.

The most common cause is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which accounts for 32% of all peripheral vertigo.

Central vertigo is caused by a problem inside the brain, and peripheral vertigo is caused by a problem with the inner ear or the nerve leaving the inner ear.
