Abstract
Introduction: Acute vertigo is one of the most frequent symptoms of emergency consultation and also one of the most common reasons for referral to otorhinolaryngology and neurology services at the hospital level (1). In 1998, Hoston and Baloh defined acute vestibular syndrome as an acute and continuous vertigo, lasting at least 24 hours, associated with symptoms such as nausea, intolerance to head movements and instability (2); among its main causes are acute peripheral vestibular pathology or vestibular neuritis and central pathology, especially posterior circulation cerebrovascular accident (CVA). (1-5) Despite being such a frequent vestibular pathology, there is no clinical consensus, so the following recommendations are provided for the diagnosis and management of acute vestibular syndrome of peripheral origin in adult patients.
