Vestibular hypofunction is a disorder that presents with symptoms such as dizziness and imbalance and can affect a broad segment of the population. It is a pathology that can be unilateral or bilateral and affects the peripheral or central vestibular system. While acute peripheral vestibular hypofunction is most commonly seen as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, ischemic stroke involving the posterior fossa is considered the most well-known factor in the causation of acute central vestibular hypofunction. Medication, rehabilitation, and surgery can be used to treat the condition. A vestibular rehabilitation program, which includes various physical maneuvers and exercise regimes, is an effective treatment option that is widely used to treat cases with vestibular hypofunction.

摘要

Vestibular hypofunction is a disorder that presents with symptoms such as dizziness and imbalance and can affect a broad segment of the population. It is a pathology that can be unilateral or bilateral and affects the peripheral or central vestibular system. While acute peripheral vestibular hypofunction is most commonly seen as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, ischemic stroke involving the posterior fossa is considered the most well-known factor in the causation of acute central vestibular hypofunction. Medication, rehabilitation, and surgery can be used to treat the condition. A vestibular rehabilitation program, which includes various physical maneuvers and exercise regimes, is an effective treatment option that is widely used to treat cases with vestibular hypofunction.
