Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness is a common yet challenging chronic vestibular disorder that can lead to long-term disability, often without a clearly identifiable cause. This condition is characterized by persistent dizziness, unsteadiness, and imbalance present on most days for at least 90 days, with symptoms often worsening during standing, walking, upright posture, or exposure to visually complex environments. Because imaging and other diagnostic tests are frequently normal, recognition and diagnosis can be difficult and rely heavily on clinical history and established diagnostic criteria. This activity reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic approach, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and evidence-based management of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness. Treatment strategies, including vestibular rehabilitation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and pharmacologic options, are discussed, along with preventive considerations, common comorbidities, and the critical role of the interprofessional healthcare team in optimizing patient outcomes and education.
