• #5 Central Vertigo – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441861/

  Central vertigo, characterized by a subjective sensation of motion despite physical stillness, poses diagnostic and management challenges. The sensation can manifest as spinning, swaying, tilting, or rocking. Central vertigo is caused by dysfunction in the central vestibular system or its connections in the nervous system. Dysfunction in any of these components can result in central vertigo. The differential diagnosis of central vertigo is broad and includes a range of neurological disorders. Some common causes of central vertigo include stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, and vestibular migraine. The management of central vertigo depends on the underlying cause. Prompt medical attention is crucial upon the manifestation of central vertigo symptoms to prevent complications and improve outcomes.

• #6 Vertigo – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo

  Vertigo that arises from injury to the balance centers of the central nervous system (CNS), often from a lesion in the brainstem or cerebellum, is called „central” vertigo and is generally associated with less prominent movement illusion and nausea than vertigo of peripheral origin. Central vertigo may have accompanying neurologic deficits (such as slurred speech and double vision), and pathologic nystagmus (which is pure vertical/torsional). Central pathology can cause disequilibrium, which is the sensation of being off balance. The balance disorder associated with central lesions causing vertigo is often so severe that many people are unable to stand or walk. […] A number of conditions that involve the central nervous system may lead to vertigo including: lesions caused by infarctions or hemorrhage, tumors present in the cerebellopontine angle such as a vestibular schwannoma or cerebellar tumors, epilepsy, cervical spine disorders such as cervical spondylosis, degenerative ataxia disorders, migraine headaches, lateral medullary syndrome, Chiari malformation, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism, as well as cerebral dysfunction. Central vertigo may not improve or may do so more slowly than vertigo caused by disturbance to peripheral structures.

  Have you been experiencing extreme dizziness (vertigo) throughout your day? Some people suffer from dizziness regularly, feeling as if everything around them is spinning and that the ground below them is moving. Their dizziness is often accompanied by nausea and blurred vision, making it difficult for them to do anything during their day, including go to work. […] For people who have BVD, because their eyes are not in alignment (not in sync) their eyes will transmit two images to the brain that are in slightly different positions to one another. The brain wont accept this situation and responds by forcing the eye aligning muscles to fix the problem by realigning the eyes. The realignment is only temporary and misalignment then recurs, which is followed closely by realignment. […] So there becomes a continuous cycle of image misalignment and realignment, which makes the brain believe things are moving, and as you can imagine, puts a great deal of strain on the eye muscles.

  Vertigo that arises from injury to the balance centers of the central nervous system (CNS), often from a lesion in the brainstem or cerebellum, is called „central” vertigo and is generally associated with less prominent movement illusion and nausea than vertigo of peripheral origin. Central vertigo may have accompanying neurologic deficits (such as slurred speech and double vision), and pathologic nystagmus (which is pure vertical/torsional). Central pathology can cause disequilibrium, which is the sensation of being off balance. The balance disorder associated with central lesions causing vertigo is often so severe that many people are unable to stand or walk.
