This study evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a simplified clinical algorithm (STANDING) for the differential diagnosis of acute vertigo in the emergency department.
In particular, the investigators want to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the test for the diagnosis of vertigo of central origin and the reproducibility of the test.
In suspected central vertigo of ischemic origin, a duplex sonography to identify vertebral artery pathology will be performed.
Full description
The STANDING test is a structured diagnostic algorithm based on previously described diagnostic signs or bedside maneuvers, the investigators have logically assembled in four sequential steps.
STANDING will be performed before imaging test. STANDING results will be unknown to the attending emergency physician and to the panel of experts who will establish the final diagnosis at the end of follow-up of three months. The physician who will perform the STANDING will not know patient's clinical data, except those detectable during the STANDING test.
