Dizziness and vertigo rank among the most common symptoms in medical practice and belong to the 10 most common reasons for a neurological examination. Epidemiological data on dizziness, vertigo and underlying specific disorders of vestibular origin are useful for clinical decision making, may contribute to a better understanding of disease mechanisms and help evaluate the state of patient care. This article gives an overview on the epidemiology of dizziness/vertigo and of four specific vestibular disorders: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis and Menière's disease.
头晕和眩晕是医学实践中最常见的症状之一，也是进行神经科检查的十大常见原因之一。关于头晕、眩晕及潜在的特定前庭源性疾病的流行病学数据，有助于临床决策，可能有助于更好地理解疾病机制，并有助于评估患者的护理状况。本文概述了头晕/眩晕以及四种特定前庭疾病的流行病学：良性阵发性位置性眩晕、前庭性偏头痛、前庭神经炎和梅尼埃病。
