 Three hundred sixty-seven vertiginous patients with overlap consultation and 164 patients without overlap consultation were analyzed. The rate of patients with overlap consultation gradually increased with age. little difference between the overlap consultation and the first consultation was seen with the choice of the medical institution, and little difference was seen between both groups regarding the kinds of diseases causing vertigo. Most vertiginous patients visited the first medical institution within one month after the onset of the disease. For the overlap consultation, patients visited the institutions at various periods after the onset. Although emotional and functional scores of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory in the overlap consultation group were statistically significantly higher than in the no overlap group, there was no difference in the physical scores. The incidence of positional or positioning nystagmus in the overlap consultation group was higher than in the no overlap group. There was statistical significance in only the total tracing length of stabilometry between both groups. The patients with overlap consultation demonstrated some characteristics, and various factors had some influences on their care-seeking behavior.
