Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Vertigo, a symptom whose aetiology and pathogenesis is often obscure, may abe caused by locally asymptomatic pathology (e.g. periapical granuloma, residual infection) in the mandible and maxillae. Three cases are presented where the confirmatory compression sign, previously described by Eidelman (1), was found to be positive. Removal of the suspected dental pathology resulted in rapid and permanent cure. These findings should be of interest in aviation medicine where vertigo is an important and sometimes extremely dangerous symptom.
