Sažetak
Vertigo, dizziness and syncope are the most common referrals in the neurological emergency room. However, only 10% of the patients have a true neurological cause of such a state. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the causes, risk factors, and imaging modalities in patients with vertigo. One-year data of patients examined in the emergency neurological outpatient department were analyzed.Out of 700 patients, 104 (15%) were addmitted to the Neurology Department and 96 (13%) were refferred to other emergency departments. Although vertigo is a common referral to the neurological emergency room, only one quarter of patients need emergency neurological work- up.
