  • Title: Vertigo.
    Author: Daroff RB.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1977 Oct; 16(4):143-50. PubMed ID: 303045.
    Abstract:
    Vertigo reflects dysfunction in the vestibular system. Any disease state which changes the firing frequency of a vestibular end-organ and which produces unequal neural input to the brainstem causes vertigo. Caloric stimulation mimics acute end-organ dysfunction and helps establish the diagnosis.
