Vestibular symptoms in acute hemispheric strokes

In conclusion, cerebral hemispheric infarction limited to the PIVC or TPSVC does not necessarily cause vertigo. However, unilateral hemispheric infarctions, restricted to the areas belonging to the vestibular cortical network may cause vestibul ar symptoms. The lesions responsible for vestibular symptoms are located more often in the right hemisphere.
