Are Morphea & Vertigo Related ?

I have just been diagnosed with morphea on my foot. I was having problems with vertigo but the vertigo has completely stopped. Do you know of any relationship of the vertigo to the morphea on my foot? Female, age 61, height 5 2 , weight 165; no prior health problems.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear
There is a possibility of vertigo secondary central nervous system involvement involvement. But it is seen Morphea is a skin condition that involves a patch or patches of discolored or hardened skin on the face, neck, hands, torso, or feet.

Morphea is usually asymptomatic, and the development of lesions is typically insidious.
Extracutaneous involvement is present in 20% of patients.
Neurologic manifestations, which are more common in patients with en coup de sabre or progressive hemifacial atrophy, include seizures (typically complex partial), headaches, cranial nerve palsies, trigeminal neuralgia, hemiparesis/muscle weakness, eye pain, and visual changes secondary to involvement of the underlying central nervous system. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
