Abstract:
Diagnosing and treating acute and chronic dizziness is challenging for general physicians with multiple potential etiologies and difficulties in diagnosis. A new classification of dizziness is meant to facilitate diagnosis and treatment, based on the trigger and the timing of dizziness, rather than the quality. The latter is not consi-dered as a reliable information anymore for diagnosis. New studies show the absence of superiority of certain treatments compared to placebo, such as corticotherapy in vestibular neuritis or benzodia-zepine for symptomatic treatment. New consensus has been set regarding chronic dizziness, such as persistent perceptual postural dizziness (PPPD) and cervical dizziness, that might be useful for the general physician.
