Episodic Vestibular Syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
The episodic vestibular syndrome (EVS) is a clinical condition characterized by recurrent dizziness or vertigo that develops acutely (over seconds, minutes, or hours); may be accompanied by nausea/vomiting, gait instability, nystagmus, or head-motion intolerance; disappears clinically within 24 hours; and is not linked to head motion, head position/posture, or body position/posture. While many patients with this clinical syndrome suffer from Menière disease, vestibular migraine, or reflex/vasovagal (pre-)syncope, some instead harbor dangerous disorders such as life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia or vertebrobasilar transient ischemic attack (TIA).
