CT & MRI Brain for Vertigo

" Not helpful to diagnose the common causes of vertigo"

The most common causes of vertigo such as BPPV, Labyrinthitis & Vestibular Neuritis can not be diagnosed with imaging studies and X-Ray.

As for the diagnosis of the POCI, CT brain is not sensitive and MRI is less sensitive when taken within 24 hours of the onset of the symptoms

This means that a negative CT/MRI doesn't mean it rules out a POCI completely

HINTS (bed-side tests) is 100% sensitive and 98% specific for the diagnosis of POCI

Head Thrust Test is sensitive to diagnose the labyrinthitis and vestibular neuritis

Dix-Hallpike is a gold-standard test for the diagnosis of the most common type of BPPV
