What is Diagnosis and Management of Vestibular Disorders about?

This chapter reviews clinical features of eye movement disorders associated with vestibular disorders. The clinical history and examination are reviewed, pointing our key symptoms and signs (with illustrative video cases), for example, in distinguishing vertigo due to stroke from peripheral vestibular disease. Acute vertigo is discussed, including forms due to infections, trauma, and toxins as well as Tullio phenomenon, fistula, canal dehiscence. Recurrent vertigo is reviewed, including Ménière’s syndrome, otosclerosis, inflammatory disorders, migraine, vascular disorders, and epilepsy. The mechanism of hyperventilation-induced vertigo and nystagmus is discussed. Posturally induced vertigo is reviewed, detailing features and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and central causes of positional vertigo. The symptom of oscillopsia is reviewed, whether due to an abnormal vestibulo-ocular reflex or paresis of extraocular muscles, or due to nystagmus and other abnormal eye movements. Finally, the topological diagnosis and pathogenesis of skew deviation and the ocular tilt reaction are discussed.
