Vertigo and dizziness are among the most common yet clinically challenging presentations in neurological practice, often requiring careful differentiation between central and peripheral causes. Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as missing red flags can lead to significant morbidity, while over-investigation can burden both patients and healthcare systems. Advances in bedside evaluation, imaging, and understanding of vestibular disorders continue to refine clinical approaches.

In this session, Dr. Sunil Gajre will provide a comprehensive overview of the neurological approach to dizziness and vertigo. The discussion will cover key clinical distinctions, bedside examination techniques, identification of red flag symptoms, and the role of neuroimaging in diagnosis. Current management strategies, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, will also be addressed. The focus will be on practical, evidence-based insights to help clinicians enhance diagnostic accuracy and deliver effective patient care.
