Predictors of false negative diffusion-weighted MRI in clinically suspected central cause of vertigo
Vertigo is classified as peripheral and central. Differentiation of stroke mimics is the most important diagnostic challenge. There is no clinical guidance for the indications of neuroimaging in isolated vertigo patients. The primary aim of this study is to test the diagnostic value of a DWI-MRI protocol to rule-out a central cause in patients with acute isolated vertigo in the ED.

Association of physician risk tolerance with emergency department computed tomography use for isolated dizziness/vertigo patients
Dizziness/vertigo is one of the most common principal complaints in the emergency department (ED) [1], accounting for 2.5% of all ED presentations [2]. Although the most common causes of dizziness/vertigo are benign, potential life-threatening stroke especially cerebellar or brain stem infarction should be considered in the differential diagnosis, because isolated dizziness without other concurrent neurological symptoms can be the sole presentation of these conditions [3-5]. Non-contrast brain computed tomography (CT) provides the necessary information for emergency management of most patients with suspected stroke and is ...
