'''Vertigo''' (from the [[Latin]] ''vertō'' "a whirling or spinning movement") is a subtype of [[dizziness]] in which a patient inappropriately [[experiences]] the [[perception]] of [[motion]] (usually a spinning motion) due to [[dysfunction]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system vestibular system]. It is often associated with nausea and vomiting as well as a [[balance]] disorder, causing difficulties standing or walking. There are three types of vertigo. The first is known as objective and describes when the patient has the sensation that objects in the [[environment]] are moving; the second is known as subjective and refers to when the patient feels as if he or she is moving, and the third is known as pseudovertigo, an intensive sensation of rotation inside the patient's head. While appearing in [[textbooks]], this [[classification]] has little to do with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathophysiology pathophysiology] or treatment of vertigo.

[[Dizziness]] and [[vertigo]] are common medical issues, affecting approximately 20%-30% of the general [[population]]. Vertigo may be present in patients of all ages. The prevalence of vertigo rises with age and is about two to three times higher in [[women]] than in [[men]]. It accounts for about 2-3% of [[emergency]] department visits. The main causes of vertigo are: are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_paroxysmal_positional_vertigo benign paroxysmal positional vertigo], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9ni%C3%A8re%27s_disease Ménière's disease], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_neuritis vestibular neuritis], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinthitis labyrinthitis], but may also be caused by a [[concussion]] or a vestibular migraine. Excessive consumption of ethanol ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_beverages alcoholic beverages]) can also cause symptoms of vertigo. Repetitive spinning, as in familiar [[childhood]] [[games]], can induce short-lived vertigo by disrupting the [[inertia]] of the fluid in the vestibular system; this is known as physiologic vertigo.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo]
