[The VeSFADS structural classification of vestibular disorders].

The issuing of International Classification of Vestibular Disorders（ICVD） by Brny society（2015） greatly facilitates the progress of vestibular medicine. The syndromic classification of vestibular disorders by ICVD enable the physician to narrow the spectrum of differential diagnosis for the vestibular disorder in clinical practice. However, the division of vestibular pathway, especially the central vestibular system, has not be classified yet in the ICVD（2015）. Central vertigo, being a group of heterogeneous disorders, may present diverse clinical spectrums. The misdiagnosis of central vestibular as well as peripheral vestibular disorders have been reported in the clinic practice. Therefore, the author by review study proposes a structural classification of vestibular disorders combined the Vestibular System Functional Anatomy Division with Syndromes（VeSFADS）. The VeSFADS classification of vestibular disorders could help the physician in clinical practice to narrow the spectrum of vestibular disorders, in addition to the syndromic classification, by the clinical feature of vestibular disorders from different division of vestibular system. And the VeSFADS classification of vestibular disorders may facilitate to clarify the clinical features of vestibular disorders at different Division of vestibular pathway.
