Title

GERIATRIC VERTIGO

Pages

  467-479

Abstract

 Introduction: VERTIGO, disequilibrium and the consecutive FALLS in GERIATRICS have always been one of the major challenges that both patients and medical staffs encounter. Numerous factors make the diagnosis and treatment processes rather difficult in the elderly compared to the younger adults. Once these conditions left unattended, the underlying etiologies of GERIATRICS VERTIGO not only can pose a threat to the patients' safety and lead to physical impairments, but also might result in psychological consequences like isolation from society. In this review article we intend to investigate the key points regarding the GERIATRICS VERTIGO.Materials and methods: The online databases including Pubmed, Google Scholar, Cochrane and Science Direct were searched using the key words: GERIATRICS, Elderly, Older people, Imbalance, Disequilibrium, and VERTIGO for the papers that were published from the year 1972 to 2013.Results: A total number of 218 original articles and 30 review articles were found using the abovementioned key words. The titles, abstracts and conclusions were studied. Eventually, 45 articles were found appropriate for the purpose of this study.Conclusion: The recent increases in the elderly population and their physical impairments have resulted in a soar in such symptoms as VERTIGO and disequilibrium among these participants. By the age of 75, dizziness is the first reason for which elderly pay visits to medical centers and 80% of patients older than 75 years old complain of VERTIGO and dizziness. Plenty of CENTRAL and arterial lesions in the elderly have clinical manifestations which resemble symptoms of benign PERIPHERAL vestibular dysfunctions, and result in difficulty in diagnosis of the disease. Furthermore, rehabilitative treatments in this age group might be delayed due to concomitant neural and muscular impairments. In the elderly, the clinical presentations and nystagmus characteristics are the most critical findings that can play a significant role in differential diagnosis of PERIPHERAL and CENTRAL VERTIGOes.
