Neurotology & Vertigo — Finding the Cause. Restoring Your Balance.
Dizziness and vertigo are common symptoms, but their underlying causes can vary from inner-ear and vestibular disorders to migraine, neurological conditions and other medical causes. At the Department of ENT, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, comprehensive evaluation and personalised management are provided for patients experiencing vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, tinnitus, hearing-related disorders and other conditions affecting the ear and balance system.
The evaluation begins with a detailed clinical assessment, comprehensive ear examination and appropriate vestibular investigations to identify the cause of dizziness or balance problems. A dedicated Video Nystagmography (VNG) Lab enables objective assessment of eye movements and vestibular function. VNG helps evaluate the inner-ear balance organs and can assist in differentiating between various causes of vertigo and dizziness.
Based on the clinical findings and investigation results, treatment is tailored to the underlying condition. Management may include medication, positional manoeuvres, vestibular rehabilitation, lifestyle modification and treatment of associated ear or neurological conditions.
