Cervical vertigo - reality or fiction?

The existence of cervical vertigo is still a question under debate. The basic hypothesis of the disease is that the abnormalities of the neck cause dizziness. The name itself is not accurate, as on the basis of the descriptions we cannot talk about true vertigo. The most common symptoms of cervical vertigo are cervical pain or discomfort, imbalance or dizziness and limitation of cervical movement. The origin of the disease is unclear. Based on the literature, there are four most accepted hypotheses: neurovascular, vascular, proprioceptive theory and migraine-associated cervicogenic vertigo. Of these, the neurovascular theory has already been discredited and its existence is clearly disproved. When diagnosing cervical vertigo, we always face the following difficulties: there is no diagnostic method specific to the disease, pathognomic clinical elements are unavailable, no clear therapeutic recommendation exists. The diagnosis of the disease requires the exclusion of alternatives, but the possibility of the existance of psychogenic vertigo causes further difficulties for the clinicians. Regarding the treatment, the combination of manual therapies and vestibular rehabilitation seems to be the most effective. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(25): 967-972.
