dc.description.abstractObjective: The present study was to examine seasonal distribution of vertigo and to retrospectively investigate the correlations between vertigo and climatic variables in a region, where continental climate is dominant. Method: Fifty two cases, who applied to our clinic with the complaint of vertigo in between July 2015 and June 2017 and were diagnosed with peripheral vertigo, were included in the study. Meteorological parameters were obtained from YYY weather station. Results: When examining the distribution of the cases by seasons; it was determined that although the number of cases increased in the autumn months. A statistically significant correlation also was not determined between seasonal parameters evaluated and vertigo (p>0.05). When regression analysis individually was performed in terms of causality between climatic parameters and vertigo, the causality in all variables, except for the minimum air temperature during the period of evaluation, was found to be significant.
 When the difference between sudden short term changes in seasonal variables and the values identified on the day of episode was evaluated, there was a statistically significant difference for all parameters of evaluation except for precipitation (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results of the study revealed that the number of cases increased in the months when seasonal changes with distinct differences of temperature occurred. The results of the related studies in the literature are different from each other. Therefore, we have concluded that it is possible to evaluate clearly the correlation between climatic parameters and vertigo only with studies involving different climatic regions.
