| Common physical examination findings associated with vertigo include [[nystagus]] [[hearing]] impairment , [[vision]] changes, and [[imbalance]].
| | |- |
| | | | [[M. genitalium]] || urethritis and urethral inflammation |
| ==Physical Examination== | | |- |
| Physical examination of patients with vertigo is usually remarkable for [[nystagmus]], [[hearing]] impairment, [[nausea]], [[imbalance]], [[vision]] changes.
| | | [[T. vaginalis]] ||urethritis among heterosexual men |
| | | |- |
| ===Appearance of the Patient===
| | | [[Physiologic Tremor]] || Postural tremor - High [[frequency]] 8–10 Hz, low [[amplitude]], irregular oscillations |
| *Patients with vertigo have variable general appearance depending on the underlying [[etiology]].
| | |- |
| *Unsteady [[gait]] ([[cerebellar]] involvement), [[sensitivity]] to motion/light/[[smell]]/noise (vestibular [[migraine]]) could be observed.
| | | Enhanced [[Physiologic]] Tremor ||Increased [[amplitude]] |
| | | |- |
| ===Vital Signs===
| | | [[Cerebellar]] Tremor || [[Intention tremor]] - Low [[frequency]] <4 Hz |
| | | |- |
| *[[Blood pressure]] should be assessed to rule out [[orthostatic hypotension]].
| | | [[Drug]] Induced Tremor || Can enhance rest, action, postural tremors |
| *[[Hyperthermia]] could be associated with vestibular [[neuronitis]], [[herpes zoster oticus]], [[acute]] [[labyrinthitis]].
| | |- |
| | | | [[Orthostatic]] Tremor || [[Essential tremor]] variant, high [[frequency]] 14 Hz-18 Hz |
| ===Skin===
| | |- |
| * Skin examination of patients with vertigo is usually normal. However, any [[signs]] of [[trauma]] should be assessed.
| | |Holmes tremor || Combination of rest, action, and postural tremors, [[Frequency]] 2Hz-5Hz |
| | | |} |
| ===HEENT===
| |
| * [[HEENT]] [[examination]] of patients with vertigo is very important. Following [[examinations]] should be performed in every [[patient]] presenting with vertigo:
| |
| **[[Otoscopic]] Exam: Can identify [[cholesteatoma]], [[herpes zoster oticus]]([[vesicles]] on [[tympanic membrane]]), [[acute]] [[otitis media]].
| |
| **Hennebert’s sign, pushing tragus provokes vertigo or [[nystagmus]] on the affected side in patients with [[perilymphatic fistula]].<ref name="RosenbergGizzi2000">{{cite journal|last1=Rosenberg|first1=Michael L.|last2=Gizzi|first2=Martin|title=NEURO-OTOLOGIC HISTORY|journal=Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America|volume=33|issue=3|year=2000|pages=471–482|issn=00306665|doi=10.1016/S0030-6665(05)70221-8}}</ref>
| |
| **[[Hearing]]: Weber or Rinne's test is done in the [[clinic]] or at the bedside to determine if it is conductive or [[sensorineural hearing loss]].
| |
| **'''HINTS''': '''H'''ead '''I'''mpulse, '''N'''ystagmus, '''T'''est of '''S'''kew (cover/uncover test) to identify if the cause of [[vestibular neuritis]] is central or peripheral.<ref name="TarnutzerBerkowitz2011">{{cite journal|last1=Tarnutzer|first1=A.

| |
| **Look for evidence of [[trauma]].
| |
| **[[Nystagmus]] assessment is an important feature to distinguish peripheral from the central cause of vertigo:
| |
| ***[[Peripheral]]: Horizontal nystagmus with a torsional component, adaptive.
| |
| ***Central: Could be in any direction horizontal, vertical, or torsional, non- adaptive.
