The vestibular system is a sensory system located inside the ear. This, combined with the optical system, ensure a sense of direction and balance in space. The labyrinth, the vestibular nerve, and the connections to the brain are parts of this system. When one of these systems malfunctions, it causes a feeling of rotation and dizziness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Other etiologies for vertigo Brain problems such as stroke or tumor.
