Typical causes

‍

• Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): short, intense dizziness when turning in bed or changing position; common, but easily treatable.
• Vestibular disorders: dysfunction of the inner ear balance system, which may cause spinning sensations, unsteadiness, or nausea.
• Other causes: circulation problems, neurological conditions, or vascular disorders can also trigger dizziness – in these cases, close cooperation with neurology is important.

Diagnostics

‍

• Balance testing: specialized tests to check the function of the inner ear and the balance system.
• Collaboration with neurology and other specialties: if the cause lies outside the ENT field.

Treatment
‍

Treatment depends on the underlying cause:

• BPPV: simple repositioning maneuvers that often bring immediate relief.
• Vestibular disorders: medication, balance training, or targeted rehabilitation.
• Other causes: individualized treatment plans in cooperation with neurology and other disciplines.
