Vertigo and dizziness are two conditions whose prevalence
throughout an individual's lifespan is estimated to range from 20%
to 50% with a marked incidence regarding women. Starting from the
frequency of these symptoms, the book explores different aspects of
the otoneurology field and the vestibular diseases, from the
anatomy of vestibular organs to the pharmacological, surgical and
rehabilitative treatment of posterior labyrinth disorders. In
particular, the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (VPPB),
Meniere's disease and dizziness in patients suffering from
temporomandibular joint disorders and vertebral fractures are
described. A focus on specific techniques to evaluate vestibular
disorders is included and the video head impulse test (vHIT) and
vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) application are shown
to study each part of the posterior part of the inner ear. A
specific chapter is dedicated to the management of postural
disorders in vestibular dysfunctions, from the postural evaluation
to the many different protocols of vestibular rehabilitation. The
principles of pharmacotherapy are described; medications to treat
dizziness and vertigo can include anticholinergics, antihistamines,
benzodiazepines and other drugs including antiemetics,
sympathomimetic and calcium antagonists. Finally, the principles
underlying the surgical strategies in the management of the
vertiginous patients, furthermore a general description of the
