Vertigo or dizziness is a symptom, not a disease, and the two are sometimes difficult to differenciate for patients. Four categories of disease can cause vertigo or dizziness : neurological (due to the brain), otological (due to the ears), cardiac (because of low blood pressure) and psychiatric (anxiety or depression).<br \/>\u00e9tourdissements sont une sensation d\u2019instabilit\u00e9. Le vertige ou l\u2019\u00e9tourdissement sont des symptomes et non pas des maladies, et ces sympt\u00f4mes sont parfois difficiles \u00e0 diff\u00e9rencier pour les patients. Pour les besoins de la cause, nous les nommerons tous vertige. Quatre cat\u00e9gories de maladies peuvent causer les vertiges\u00a0: les maladies neurologiques (dues au cerveau), les maladies otologies (dues aux oreilles), les probl\u00e8mes cardiaques (dues \u00e0 des chutes de pression) et des maladies psychiatriques (anxi\u00e9t\u00e9\/d\u00e9pression).\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The Otolaryngologist is well placed to accompany you in directing your care with vertigo or dizziness. History and physical examination by an ENT specialist are essential to identify the cause of your dizziness. Your doctor may send you for further testing such as an audiogram, a vestibulonystagmogram (VNG) or a magnetic resonance imaging study (MRI) of the brain.<br \/>\u00e9tourdissements. Il est possible que le m\u00e9decin vous envoie passer des tests<br \/>suppl\u00e9mentaires pour tenter d\u2019identifier l\u2019origine des sympt\u00f4mes. Les tests les plus<br \/>commun\u00e9ment demand\u00e9s sont l\u2019audiogramme, le vestibulonystagmogramme (VNG) et la r\u00e9sonance magn\u00e9tique c\u00e9r\u00e9brale (IRM).<\/p><p>The ENT specialists at the Clinique ORL de Montr\u00e9al are particularly well positioned to\nevaluate and treat vertigo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76d5274c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"76d5274c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cliniqueorl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/vertige-et-etourdissement-pjiknb3d7i7b376alkc9tv9hqf0b4grt622ofvr8f8.jpeg\" title=\"vertige et etourdissement\" alt=\"manipulation vertige benin vppb\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-facd1e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"facd1e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Here are the most common causes of dizziness encountered by the ENT\u00a0:<\/strong>\n<br>\n<br>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Bening positional paroxystic vertigo (BPPV)\u00a0: it is the most common cause of vertigo\nin all ages. BPPV causes vertigo lasting less than a minute while moving the head or\nduring position changes in bed. It is treated with a repositioning maneuver called the\nEpley maneuver.<\/li>\n \t<li>Cervical dizziness\u00a0: It is dizziness associated with neck pain or tension. The neck\ncontains receptors that identify the position of the head in space (proprioceptors)\nand send a message to the brain. When a patient has neck pain or tension, a wrong\n\nsignal is sent to the brain giving the impression of movement while the neck is not\nmoving, thus causing dizziness. Cervical dizziness is treated with physical therapy,\nchiropractic adjustment, or osteopathic adjustment. Sometimes, vestibular\nrehabilitation is required.<\/li>\n \t<li>Vestibular neuritis\u00a0: vestibular neurotis is inflammation of the nerve of balance,\ncausing rotation dizziness that disappears by itself over a few days. The younger the\npatient is, the higher the likelihood complete recovery is possible. Vestibular\nrehabilitation is often necessary.<\/li>\n \t<li>Labyrinthitis\u00a0: labyrinthitis is similar to vestibular neuritis, but is accompanied by\nhearing loss.<\/li>\n \t<li>Vestibular migraine\u00a0: Vestibular migraine is under-diagnosed. It is characterized by 3\ncomponents that are (1) headaches or a history of migraines, (2) dizziness\nunexplained by the common causes of dizziness, and (3) disappearance of symptoms\nwith anti-migraine medication.<\/li>\n \t<li>M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s disease\u00a0: Meni\u00e8re\u2019s disease is caused by an increase in pressure in the\ninner ear fluids (endolymph). It is characterized by repeated bouts of hearing loss,\ntinnitus, and dizziness that last from 20 minutes to 24 hours. Many treatments are\npossible, such as avoidance of triggers, diuretic medication, or sometimes surgery.<\/li>\n \t<li>Vertebrobasilar insufficiency\u00a0: Vertebobasilar insufficiency is a disease where\nbloodflow at the level of the brainstem is impaired during head rotation. It is a form\nof pre-stroke, called transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is discovered by imaging the\nvessels of the brain, and is treated by controlling risk factors and administering\nmedication to thin the blood, like aspirin.<\/li>\n \t<li>Tumors\u00a0: Certain tumors, like acoustic neuromas (auditory nerve tumors), can cause\nhearing loss and dizziness, along with other brain-related symptoms. Your doctor\ncan diagnose these tumors with tests such as an audiogram and an MRI. The\nmanagement is either surgery, radiotherapy, or observation.\n<br>\n<br>\nThe ENT specialists at the Clinique ORL de Montr\u00e9al are particularly well-positioned to\nevaluate and treat vertigo.<\/li>\n<\/ul><br>\n<strong>Guidelines<\/strong><br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.entnet.org\/?q=node\/335\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VPPB \/ BPPV AAO-HNS<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.entnet.org\/Clinical%20Practice%20Guideline%3A%20Meniere%27s%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br>Meniere\u2019s AAO-HNS<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ichd-3.org\/appendix\/a1-migraine\/a1-6-episodic- syndromes-that-may-be-associated-with-migraine\/a1-6-6-vestibular-migraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br>Disease Migraine ICHD-3\u00a0<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c16d26a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6c16d26a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56875a47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"56875a47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-226d8ce3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gt3-core-accordion\" data-id=\"226d8ce3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"gt3-core-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion_wrapper\" data-settings=\"{&quot;collapsible&quot;:false,&quot;active&quot;:0}\">\r\n\t<div class=\"item_title\">What can I do for motion sickness?<\/div><div class=\"item_content\"><ul><li>Sit by the window next to the wing in an airplane or on the front seat of a car where the sensation of movement is reduced.<\/li><li>Concentrate on a point in the distance (distant landscape in a car or on the horizon on the deck of a boat if you are sailing).<\/li><li>Do not read while traveling.<\/li><li>Avoid strong odors or spicy or greasy foods before and during travel.<\/li><li>Envisagez d'utiliser des m\u00e9dicaments en vente libre ou des traitements naturopathiques disponibles pour r\u00e9duire le mal des transports (par exemple, Gravol, patch transdermiques, d\u00e9riv\u00e9s du gingembre).<\/li><li>Stronger medications, such as sedatives, may be prescribed by your doctor.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><script type=\"application\/json\" id=\"settings--226d8ce3\">{\"collapsible\":false,\"active\":0}<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L&rsquo;ORL, l&rsquo;expert des vertiges et des \u00e9tourdissements \u00c0 la Clinique ORL de Montr\u00e9al, nos m\u00e9decins ORL, en collaboration avec les audiologistes et les audioproth\u00e9sistes, sont en mesures de vous aider \u00e0 comprendre, att\u00e9nuer, traiter vos probl\u00e8mes d&rsquo;acouph\u00e8nes.
