Possible causes of vertigo
The most common causes of vertigo are due to abnormalities in the inner ear, which controls balance. The most common causes are as follows:
- Behavioral neuropathy (BPPV) is caused by a deposit of calcium carbonate in the inner ear (otoconia), which senses head movement, detaching from its place, causing the patient to experience vertigo.
- Ménière’s disease is caused by abnormalities in the production of fluid in the inner ear. The exact cause is currently unknown. However, it is assumed that it may be caused by fluid retention in the inner ear and increased pressure in the inner ear. This may cause the patient to experience dizziness along with tinnitus and hearing loss.
- Vestibular neuritis, or otitis media, is caused by an inner ear infection caused by a viral infection. A viral infection of the inner ear surrounding the nerve can affect balance.
