This is a statistical analysis of 3349 patients who visited our clinic complaining of vertigo and dizziness 1977 to 1991. The number of patients has been increasing, especially patients over 65 years of age. A peripheral origin was noted in 29.4%, a central origin in 7.2%, systemic disease in 21.3%, and unknown in 42.1%. Vestibular dysfunction due to ototoxic drugs (KM.SM) and vertigo following head trauma were predominant in males, vertigo due to hypotension was in females. Vertigo due to hypotension was common in patients under 15 years of age, while many of those over 65 years of age had vestibular dysfunction due to ototoxic drugs (KM.SM) or vertigo due to hypertension. Half of the patients complained of vertigo and one third complained of dizziness. Vertigo with hearing loss was predominant in patients over 65 years of age. In 1990 and 1991, there were more patients over 65 years of age than in 1977-1978, and vertigo due to hypotension or hypertension was more common.
