| description | An evolutive, transversal and descriptive study was carried out in 106 patients affected by vertigo in the University Hospital “Arnaldo Milian Castro” of Santa Clara, Villa Clara province, from January 2001 to December 2004. The purpose of this research was making a topographical and ethiological characterization of vertigo, which was possible via questioning, physical exam and otoneurological studies such as: tonal audiometrics, impedanciometrics, auditive evoked potentials of brain stem, caloric tests, simple imagenelogical exam, the helicoidal computarized tomography and also a fallow-up of patients. The periferical vertigo proved to be the most frecuent (78.3%). The benign paroxiysmal positional vertigo turned to be the cause more prevalent (39.8%) and was diagnosed by a postural Dix-Hillpike test and the rest of studies. The cervical cause had the biggest incidente (58.3%) in regard with central vertigo and it behaved like a periferical one concerning its clinical chart. |
