Abstract

Acute vertigo may originate from peripheral or central vestibular disorders. As central vestibular symptoms may indicate severe brainstem or cerebellar ischemia, rapid clinical differentiation is required. To this end, evaluation of spontaneous or gaze-evoked nystagm, head-impulse test as well identification of skew deviation are most helpful.
