Diagnosis

A comprehensive vertigo workup is essential to diagnose the cause of dizziness or vertigo. This workup typically includes the following tests:

  • Videonystagmography (VNG): Detects horizontal spontaneous nystagmus, which reduces with optic fixation.
  •  Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV): Measures misinterpretation of the vertical plane, typically shifted to the damaged side by more than 10°.
  •  Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA): Assesses any reduction in visual acuity during movement.
  •  Craniocorpography (CCG): Reveals rotation to the affected side during the Unterberger test.
  •  Posturography
  •  Video-Head Impulse Test(vHIT): Identifies deficits in the vestibulo-ocular reflex on the affected side.
