Differential diagnosis of dizziness caused by peripheral vestibulopathy (usually benign and curable) and vertigo of central origin (threatening);
We conduct a special vestibulo-neurological examination and a videonystagmography, which are more sensitive methods in diagnosing acute vertigo than magnetic resonance imaging in the first 48 hours of symptom onset;
