The vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that process the sensory information involved with controlling balance and eye movements. If disease or injury damages these processing areas, disorders of dizziness or balance can result. Vestibular disorders can also result from, or be worsened by, genetic or environmental conditions, or occur for unknown reasons.
The diagnosis of a vestibular disorder relies on a combination of tests and careful examination and consideration of the history of the problem. A complete physical examination is essential to rule out other causes of dizziness, such as cardiovascular or central nervous system disorders.
