Physical Examination
- Important signs to assess in a patient with vertigo:
- Nystagmus
- Hearing: Weber or Rinne's test is done in the clinic or at bedside to determine if it is conductive or sensorineural hearing loss.
- Otoscopic Exam:
- HINTS: Head Impulse, Nystagmus, Test of Skew (cover/uncover test) to identify if the cause of vestibular neuritis is central or peripheral.
- Dix-Hallpike maneuver is used to diagnose benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
- Hennebert’s sign, pushing tragus provokes vertigo or nystagmus on the affected side in patients with perilymphatic fistula.
