MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study conducted at Department of ENT and Head & Neck Surgery, Saveetha Medical College Hospital, Thandalam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India from September 2022 to March 2024. We included patients presenting with vertigo or dizziness, excluding those with non-vestibular dizziness or incomplete medical records. We analysed demographic data, medical history, and clinical findings from patient records. Data analysis was performed. Continuous variables were compared using independent sample t-tests and categorical variables using chi-square tests.

RESULTS: The study included 268 patients, predominantly females (57.8%) and individuals aged 40-50 years (29.9%). Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) was the most common etiological factor (41.0%), followed by orthostatic dysregulation (17.2%) and vestibular peripheral dysfunction (VPD) (16.0%). Clinical presentations and outcomes varied with the underlying etiology. Overall, 91.0% of the patients showed improvement following treatment, with 7.1% achieving full recovery.
