Brain Structural Abnormalities in Patients With Vertigo

Vertigo is a prevalent symptom with multiple underlying etiologies, including neurological, vascular, and musculoskeletal causes. Despite its high prevalence, the exact structural brain abnormalities associated with vertigo remain unclear. This observational study aims to assess brain MRI findings in patients with vertigo and compare them to a control group without vertigo symptoms. The study also evaluates pre-MRI diagnostic procedures, such as vertebral/carotid ultrasound and cervical spine X-rays, to identify potential vascular and musculoskeletal contributors to vertigo. The results may provide insights into the structural brain changes linked to vertigo and help refine diagnostic and treatment strategies.
