【 摘 要 】

Patients with vestibular vertigo (VV) are commonly referred to hospital, as emergently indicated, which makes the urgent establishment of the cause of VV relevant. One hundred and ninety-eight patients (86 men; mean age, 55.6±13.7 years and 112 women; mean age, 69.1±9.2 years) with VV who had been admitted to hospital for suspected stroke were examined. Ischemic stroke in the vertebrobasilar system (VBS) was diagnosed in only 28 (32.5%) men and 22 (19.6%) women; transient ischemic attack in VBS was seen in 10 (12.2%) men and 6 (5.6%) women; other diseases were identified in the remaining cases. VBS stroke was noted to be hyperdiagnosed in the patients with VV; whether itis expedient to apply a standardized approach to the problem of vertigo and unstable equilibrium and to attract a multidisciplinary team to examine patients in the admission room of a multidisciplinary hospital is discussed.
