ICD-11 definition : Central vertigo is usually a result of an abnormal processing of the vestibular sensory
input by the central nervous system due to either a disruption of central integrators
(i.e. brain stem, cerebellum) or a sensory information mismatch (i.e. from the cortex).
Lesions that affect the vestibular nerve or root entry zone (i.e. cerebellopontine
angle [CPA] lesions) result in imbalance by affecting primary vestibular sensory information;
