Vertigo caused by inflammation of the inner ear (labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis) will last for days until the inflammation subsides. Attacks of vertigo due to Meniere's disease can last from 20 minutes to 24 hours. Vertigo is not usually common with acoustic neuroma (tumor), although it is more commonly associated with smaller tumors in the early stages. As the tumor grows, vertigo lessens or disappears.
Conclusion Vertigo is not a disease but a symptom that can have many causes. The most common are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and Meniere's disease, which for most people can be treated and controlled without surgery.
