Zusammenfassung

Die akute neu aufgetretene Drehschwindelattacke stellt in der Akutversorgung eine Herausforderung an die Medizin dar. Eine strukturierte interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen Notfallmedizin, Neurologie und Hals-, Nasen-, Ohrenheilkunde ist für die optimale Patientenbetreuung unerlässlich. Diese Arbeit schafft einen Überblick über die klinischen Hilfsmittel, die in der Entscheidungsfindung der klinischen Diagnostik zur Verfügung stehen. Die Einschätzung des klinisch relevanten Risikoprofils in Kombination mit der Rolle der akuten bildgebenden Verfahren werden in dieser Übersichtsarbeit anhand der bisherig publizierten Literatur behandelt.

Abstract

Acute rotatory vertigo often represents a considerable diagnostic challenge for the treating physician. A structured clinical protocol and efficient cooperation between otologists, neurologists and emergency room physicians is needed to ensure optimal patient care. This review concentrates on essential clinical signs and symptoms necessary to differentiate between acute vestibulopathy and acute vertigo of vascular origin, especially in the cerebellum. A review of relevant literature is also included.
