Stroke Among Patients With Dizziness, Vertigo, and Imbalance in the Emergency Department

Abstract

The proportion of cerebrovascular events in patients presenting with dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance is very low. Isolated dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance strongly predicts a noncerebrovascular cause. The symptom of imbalance is a predictor of stroke/TIA.
