                Abstract: The traumatic pathology of the head and neck is often
                associated with peripheral or central vertiginous manifestations. These are
                due either to direct or indirect traumatic damage of the temporal bones -
                the labyrinth's place - (involving direct damage to the middle or inner ear,
                or by affecting the cervical vascularization or the osteo-muscular skeleton
                of the cervical area. The secondary psychopathological reactions
                associated with this type of traumatology may also be the secondary
                source of vertigo. This article reviews the clinical forms of vertigo that may
                occur as an immediate or delayed consequence of cervical and cranial
                traumatic pathology, with their particular diagnostic and modalities of
                therapy.
