Vertigo And Nystagmus - Clinical Approach Part-2.pptx

Vertigo And Nystagmus - Clinical Approach Part-2.pptx This document discusses vertigo and nystagmus. it begins with the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular apparatus and labyrinth. it then covers the history, examination, and examples of vertigo. Nystagmus of brainstem or cerebellar (ie, central) origin may be bidirectional and have more than one direction, eg, torsional plus horizontal movement. pure vertical nystagmus almost always is a sign of brainstem disease and not a labyrinthine disorder.

A pt presents with dizziness and hearing loss plus ha, fever and is ill appearing. what disease could this patient have? what tests should be done if you suspect this diagnosis?. Caloric test • principle: to induce nystagmus by thermal stimulation of the vestibular system • advantages: o each labryinth can be tested separately o also checks for labrynthine origin of vertigo. The document discusses the prevalence and types of vertigo, emphasizing the importance of a detailed patient history and understanding eye movements for diagnosis. 1) the document discusses various approaches to evaluating and treating vertigo, including distinguishing between peripheral and central causes. 2) diagnostic tests like dix hallpike, vng, and hints can help determine if vertigo is peripheral or central in nature and identify specific causes.
