Vertigo is an awareness of disordered orientation of the body in space.Peripheral vertigo is characterized by sudden onset, episodic and objective feeling of swaying with deafness, nausea and vomiting.

Over a period of 6 months,25 cases were selected based on thorough history, otoneurological examination and relevant audiovestibular studies. Males were more predominant than females. Vertiginous disorders were more commonly seen in 4th and 5th decade of life. Maximum number of cases were due to inner ear and systemic lesion(32% each). Amongst the middle ear lesions, CSOM(AAD) was found in 12% cases. Amongst the inner ear pathology, Meniere‘s Disease(24%) formed the major part, while the incidences of labyrinthitis was 8%.
