Yrsel kan höra samman med störningar i innerörat, vestibulärnerven, hjärnstammen eller hjärnbarken. Skador i tinningloben och hjässloben kan hänga samman med anfall med yrsel som ett symtom i den iktala fasen.

An illusion of movement, either of the external world revolving around the individual or of the individual revolving in space. Vertigo may be associated with disorders of the inner ear (EAR, INNER); VESTIBULAR NERVE; BRAINSTEM; or CEREBRAL CORTEX. Lesions in the TEMPORAL LOBE and PARIETAL LOBE may be associated with FOCAL SEIZURES that may feature vertigo as an ictal manifestation. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp300-1)
