Dizziness and vertigo

Dizziness represents 10-15% of the causes of access to emergency and acceptance departments (on NEU Day 2018, the figure was 8%, with CI from 6% to 10%). The differential diagnosis of the patient with vertigo is of great importance in first aid evaluation: similar clinical presentations can be supported by very different causes (otological, neurological, or systemic) with very different prognoses, and, on the other hand, the same pathology can correspond to different syndromes.
