  • Title: ["Phobic postural vertigo". A further differentiation of psychogenic vertigo conditions seems necessary].
    Author: Eckhardt-Henn A, Hoffmann SO, Tettenborn B, Thomalske C, Hopf HC.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1997 Oct; 68(10):806-12. PubMed ID: 9441253.
    Abstract:
    Due to the results of an interdisciplinary study on patients with vertigo as the chief symptom and on the background of psychodynamic theories concerning anxiety disorders the term of phobic postural vertigo (Brandt & Dieterich 1986) is discussed. It becomes obvious that phobic postural vertigo is a generalizing term which encompasses different forms of psychogenic vertigo. The authors plead for a more differentiated diagnosis and subgroup oriented classification of vertigo caused by psychiatric disorders.
