Abstract

Anxiety and dizziness are comorbid symptoms mostly in patients who are refermed to neuro-otological centers. Significant relationships have been repeatedly reported between balance function disorders and anxiety disorders, especially panic disorder. The studies conducted on this relationship have focused on two main areas: vestibular abnormalities in patients with panic disorder, and anxiety symptoms or disorders among patients with abnormalities in the vestibular system. Two conditions are related with both somatopsychic and psychosomatic mechanisms. Neuroanatomical linkages that exist between the vestibular system and neural circuitry involved in anxiety have been uncovered.Patients with anxiety and dizziness may create diagnostic and treatment problems. The old notion of "psychogenic dizziness" is no more sufficient to provide a comprehensive framework in understanding of the interface between neurootologic and psychiatric conditions. Researchers have proposed new diagnostic entities in the population of anxiety and dizziness. Recently "phobic postural vertigo", "space-motion discomfort and phobia", "chronic subjective dizziness" and "migraine-anxiety related dizziness" were described. This article outlines the relationship of comorbid dizziness and anxiety, and examine some new disorders of the interface between vestibular disorders and anxiety disorders.

Özet

Anksiyete ve baş dönmesi daha çok nöro-otolojik merkezlere başvuran hastalarda görülen eş tanılı belirtilerdir. Denge işlevi bozuklukları ile anksiyete bozuklukları, özellikle panik bozukluğu arasındaki ilişki birçok kez bildirilmiştir. Bu ilişki konusunda yapılan çalışmalar iki ana alana odaklanmıştır: Panik bozukluğu hastalarında görülen vestibuler sorunlar ve vestibuler sistem anormalliği olan hastalardaki anksiyete belirtileri ya da bozuklukları. Bu iki durum hem somatopsişik, hem de psikosomatik düzeneklerle ilişkilidir. Vestibuler sistem ile anksiyeteden sorumlu nöral devrelerin arasındaki bağlantı da açığa çıkarılmıştır. Anksiyetesi ve baş dönmesi olan hastalar tanı ve tedavi sorunları yaratmaktadır. Eski bir nosyon olan "psikojen baş dönmesi" nöro-otolojik ve psikiyatrik durumların kesişme alanının anlaşılabilmesi için artık yeterli bir çerçeve oluşturmamaktadır. Araştırmacılar, anksiyete ve baş dönmesi olan populasyonda yeni tanısal antiteler önermişlerdir. Yakın zamanlarda, "Fobik Postural Vertigo", "UzayHareket Huzursuzluğu ve Uzay-Hareket Fobisi", "Kronik Öznel Baş Dönmesi" ve "Migren-Anksiyete İlişkili Baş Dönmesi" gibi sendromlar tanımlanmıştır. Bu makale eş tanılı baş dönmesi ve anksiyete ilişkisini aktarmakta olup, vestibuler bozukluklar ile anksiyete bozukluklarının kesişme alanındaki bazı yeni bozuklukları incelemektedir.
