Primary Care of the Patients with Vertigo

Abstract

The primary care of patients with vertigo was described. Usually many doctors tend to consider the examinations of patients with vertigo as rather complicated. However, if we take the exact present history of the patients, carry out simple neurotological tests and have proper knowledge of the diseases of vertigo, the primary diagnosis will be done successfully. Then, we can treat the patients appropriately and observe their clinical course. When, more precise examinations are needed, secondary tests such as ENG, ABR, CT and MRI should be done. In some case, we should consult with neurosurgeons, neurologists and psychologists about the diagnosis and treatment of the patients.
