    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

vertigo

Dizziness; a whirling sensation accompanied by a loss of any feeling of contact with the ground. It may be due to temporary disturbance of the sense of balance (as in spinning for too long on one spot), psychological reasons, disease such as labyrinthitis, or intoxication.

Vertigo

Psychological screen thriller made in the USA in colour in 1958, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and based on a novel by Pierre Boileau (1906–1989). It examines the nature of obsessive love in a plot about a detective (James Stewart) who falls for the woman (Kim Novak) he is tailing; he sees her apparently die and then stumbles on her double. His gradual breakdown and hallucinatory state are reinforced by Hitchcock's dreamlike style.
