Dizziness is a common complaint in ambulatory care, comprising 4% to 5% of all visits. AVS is characterized by rapid onset of vertigo, nausea/vomiting, nystagmus and head-motion intolerance. Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
Hydrocephalus is a condition thatâs also known as water on the brain. Hydrocephalus can occur in older children and adults, particularly older adults.
Formed primarily in the ventricles of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid supports the brain and provides lubrication between surrounding bones and the brain and spinal cord. When an individual suffers a head injury, the fluid acts as a cushion, dulling the force by distributing its impact.
