Full Text

Abstract

The differential diagnostics of acute vestibular syndrome is discussed in the following article. Features of collection of complaints and anamnesis, basic clinical and instrumental methods of research are presented as well. The main approaches to the therapy of such diseases, manifested by acute dizziness, such as vestibular neuronitis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere's disease, vestibular migraine, etc. are presented.
