Overview
An MRI is the first-line imaging if the cause of vertigo is suspected to be central in origin.
MRI
- MRI is superior to a CT scan due to its ability to visualize the posterior fossa.[1]
- Neuroimaging should be conducted if vertigo is accompanied by new onset headache, neurological signs and symptoms, normal head impulse test and acute deafness.[2]
- MRI can identify various causes of central vertigo[3]:
