Misdiagnosis of Acute Peripheral Vestibulopathy in Central Nervous Ischemic Infarction

Abstract: A careful otologic and neurological examination, including the head impulse test and caloric testing, is mandatory. Because ischemic events cannot be diagnosed in computed tomographic scans at an early stage, we strongly recommend to perform cranial magnetic resonance imaging within 48 hours from admission if vertigo has not improved under conservative treatment.

“…Although fortunately he did not have any sequelae, an accurate diagnosis was delayed up to 7 days. Some authors recommend MRI if vertigo does not improve after 48 h [25]. We strongly share this opinion and further suggest repeat MRI whenever vertigo has not improved after 48 h despite initial normal MRI findings.…”
