  • Vertigo/dizziness is a common complaint in patients who are seeking a primary health clinic. Vertigo is traditionally attributed to damage of the vestibular system. Many peripheral and central vestibular disorders are usually presented with vertigo. However, patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a leading cause of vertigo, may present with postural lightheadedness, near faint, imbalance rather than true vertigo. On the contrary, patients with orthostatic hypotension may present with true spinning vertigo, not dizziness. Persistent postural perceptual dizziness, a second most common cause of dizziness (after BPPV), is mainly occurred after organic vestibular disorders such as BPPV or vestibular neuritis, and classified as a chronic functional vestibular disorder. This article describes non-vestibular disorders presenting dizziness and/or vertigos, which conditions may be misdiagnosed as structural vestibular disorders.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a clinical analysis of patients treated for dizziness with Jeoreongchajeonja-tang, evaluate the effect of Jeoreongchajeonja-tang administration, and present indications of Jeoreongchajeonja-tang in dizziness. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 63 patients who were admitted to the Oriental Hospital of Se-Myung University from August 2012 to June 2019, complaining of dizziness, so who took Jeoreongchajeonja-tang. Results: 1) As a result of the analysis of the general characteristics of patients who took Jeoreongchajeonja-tang with dizziness, women were 2.7 times more than men. The age distribution was: patients in their 70s, 36.5%; in their 50s, 20.6%; in their 60s, 15.8%; and in their 80s, 12.6%. Patients had a history of hypertension (46.0%), diabetes (22.2%), stroke (17.4%), lung disease (12.6%), and cancer (11.1%). According to the diagnosis, 48 patients (76.1%) were assigned to the peripheral dizziness group, 7 patients (11.1%) to the central dizziness group, and 8 patients (12.6%) to other dizziness groups. 2) Compared with the peripheral dizziness group, the central dizziness group was older, their history of hypertension 8.4 times greater, their history of stroke 7.8 times greater, and the duration of herbal medicine administration was longer. 3) The vertigo grade was significantly decreased after taking Jeoreongchajeonja-tang (p=0.000). 4) As age increased by one year, odds ratio of improvement in the vertigo grade decreased by 0.924 times after taking Jeoreongchajeonja-tang (p=0.010). 5) Sex, disease duration, past history, diagnosis, the duration of herbal medicine administration, whether or not Yanggyuksanhwa-tang was combined with the Jeoreongchajeonja-tang and whether or not Western medicine was used did not affect improvement in the vertigo grade after taking Jeoreongchajeonja-tang. Conclusions: In patients with dizziness, Jeoreongchajeonja-tang can be used as a treatment without side effects.

  • Vertigo and dizziness are common symptoms with various etiologies and pathogeneses. Vertigo is an illusion of motion due to disease of the vestibular system, usually a sense of rotation. Dizziness, a term that represents a wide range of non-vertigo symptoms, is commonly associated with non-vestibular disorders including old age, cardiac syncope, orthostatic hypotension, metabolic disease, anxiety, and drugs. Vertigo should be determined whether the cause is central or peripheral. Peripheral vertigo is usually benign but central vertigo is serious and often require urgent treatment. The careful history and detailed physical examinations(pattern of nystagmus, ocular tilt reaction, head impulse test and positional tests such as Dix-Hallpike maneuver) provide important clues to the diagnosis of vertigo. Most of patients have benign peripheral vestibular disorders - vestibular neuritis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and Meniere's disease. BPPV is a leading cause of peripheral vertigo and can easily be cured with a canalith repositioning maneuver. In this review, a focus is on the differential diagnosis of common vestibular disorders with peripheral and central causes.
