Peripheral vestibular syndrome. Etiologic differential diagnosis algorithm and therapeutic recommendations
Journal Title: ORL.ro - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 34
Abstract
Peripheral vestibular syndrome is frequently met in daily ENT practice (30% of patients). History and bedside examination are crucial un differentiating peripheral and central vestibular lesions, as in establishing the aetiology whenever possible. This paper presents a differential diagnostic algorithm for vertiginous syndrome, a specific category of the vestibular lesions, in which clinical presentation is dominated by VERTIGO. It also presents appropriate treatment options for each aetiology. Bimodal treatment - medication (betahystine) and customised vestibular rehabilitation programs - aims to facilitate the physiologic vestibular central compensation process. This will enable more rapid and more complete recovery of the unilateral vestibular lesion.
