Differential Diagnosis
The following conditions should be ruled out in the diagnosis of vertigo:
- Cervical vertigo (triggered by somatosensory input from movement of head and neck)
- Drug-induced (eg aminoglycoside, Carbamazepine, Furosemide, Phenytoin, antidepressants, antihypertensives and cardiovascular medications)
- Psychogenic (eg panic disorder, anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, depression)
- Visual vertigo (triggered by repetitive moving visual input)
