ABSTRACT
Abstract. Back in the middle of the 19th century, vertigo was considered a manifestation of epilepsy or "stagnation of blood" in the brain. In the 18th century, it was believed that the only function of the inner ear was hearing. It was only in the second half of the 19th century that individual observations began to appear suggesting a connection between attacks of vestibular vertigo and damage to the labyrinth. This was made possible by Prosper Menier [1].
