Much has changed since our last review of recent advances in neuro-otology 7 years ago. Unfortunately there are still not many practising neuro-otologists, so that most patients with vestibular problems need, in the first instance, to be evaluated and treated by neurologists whose special expertise is not neuro-otology. The areas we consider here are mostly those that almost any neurologist should be able to start managing: acute spontaneous vertigo in the Emergency Room-is it vestibular neuritis or posterior circulation stroke; recurrent spontaneous vertigo in the office-is it vestibular migraine or Meniere's disease and the most common vestibular problem of all-benign positional vertigo. Finally we consider the future: long-term vestibular monitoring and the impact of machine learning on vestibular diagnosis.
自我们七年前回顾神经耳科学的最新进展以来,情况发生了很大变化。不幸的是,仍然没有多少执业的神经耳科医生,因此大多数前庭问题患者首先需要由神经科医生进行评估和治疗,而神经科医生的专业知识并不是神经耳科学。我们在这里考虑的领域主要是几乎任何神经科医生都应该能够开始管理的领域:急诊室中的急性自发性眩晕——是前庭神经炎还是后循环卒中;办公室中的复发性自发性眩晕——是前庭性偏头痛还是梅尼埃病,以及最常见的所有前庭问题——良性阵发性位置性眩晕。最后,我们考虑未来:长期前庭监测和机器学习对前庭诊断的影响。
