Zusammenfassung

Während ein einseitiger Funktionsausfall eines horizontalen Bogengangs oder des gesamten Gleichgewichtsorgans im Rahmen einer Neuropathia vestibularis oder als Folge einer Felsenbeinquerfraktur zu einem länger anhaltenden Schwindel führt, beschäftigt sich dieser Artikel mit dem Phänomen des in Episoden (Dauer: Sekunden bis Stunden) auftretenden Schwindels.

Ursächlich können diesem Symptom sowohl peripher-vestibuläre als auch zentrale Störungen zugrunde liegen. Ziel dieses Fortbildungsartikels ist es, HNO-ärztliche und neurologische Erkrankungen darzustellen, die zu episodisch auftretendem Schwindelgefühl führen können.

Abstract

While an acute loss of unilateral vestibular function (for example in case of neuritis vestibularis or temporal bone fracture) leads to long-term vertigo, this paper deals with the phenomenon of episodic vertigo (duration: seconds up to hours).

Both peripheral-vestibular and central disturbances can be responsible for this symptom. The aim of this paper is to present otological and neurological diseases which can lead to episodic attacks of vertigo.
