  • Title: [An oto-neurological approach to the acutely dizzy patient].
    Author: Hansen S, Ninn-Pedersen M, Cayé-Thomasen P.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2011 Oct 03; 173(40):2497-503. PubMed ID: 21975186.
    Abstract:
    Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular neuronitis and Menière's disease cause most cases of acute vertigo. However, doctors must consider central neurological reasons to vertigo. If it is determined that a patient has oto-neurological vertigo, the next task is to determine whether the patient has a peripheral or a central cause of vertigo, if the condition is potentially lethal and if there is a need for acute radiological imaging and/or medical intervention. This review highlights the oto-neurological approach to the dizzy patient with particular focus on the patient's history, clinical tests and treatment.
