Chronic subjective dizziness

Chronic subjective dizziness (CSD) is defined as a state of non-rotating dizziness, uncertainty, or oversensitivity to one’s own movements or comprehensive motor stimuli. It typically develops after vestibular pathology has resolved. The patient makes the impression of not being able to readapt following the resolution of the acute phase of the disease and their motion patterns remain identical to those in the acute phase of the disease. This condition is often accompanied by profound anxiety that can gradually gain prominence in the clinical presentation.
