Brief Answer:
Vestibular defects

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

There is a important stricture called vestibular apparatus in the internal ear which is essential for maintaining the body balance. if there is any sort of disturbance in this apparatus the vertigo occurs.

If there is any history or present ear infection, there are high chances of the vestibular apparatus to get infected.

Consult an ENT specialist who after performing specific tests can confirm the facet and plan a suitable management.

Wish you good health.
