title: The physiopathological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of vertigo in peripheral vestibular lesions.
abstract: The characteristics of vertigo in the pathology of vestibular peripheral lesions are differentiated and described. Symptomatological and clinical aspects are also discussed in the light of the physiopathological mechanisms of vestibular compensation. The therapeutic problem of vertigo is treated on the basis of experimental research on the inhibitory effect of some drugs on the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
