History and Physical Examination of the Dizzy Patient

Daniel E. Killeen, Brandon Isaacson, J. Walter Kutz

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The evaluation of patients presenting with vestibular complaints begins with a thorough and structured history and physical examination, which is then augmented by audiologic, vestibular, and radiologic testing. While these ancillary tests are important in establishing a definitive diagnosis, a complete and accurate history and physical exam is critical to narrowing down the differential diagnosis and results in cost-effective use of testing.
