Abstract:
Dizziness and falls are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to these symptoms are legion and such patients may present in a multiplicity of medical and surgical outpatient departments. A working knowledge of the management of these disorders is therefore of value to every clinician.
