Sessions
Acute Vestibular Disorders panel discussion
Across institutions and specialties, the paraclinical assessment of dizzy patients remains inconsistent. This symposium will examine the use of vestibular function tests—such as vHIT, VEMPs, caloric irrigation—alongside audiometry and neuroimaging, highlighting their respective roles in ENT-driven diagnostic workflows. Presenters will address how clinical relevance, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and emerging evidence can guide rational testing strategies and optimize resource use. Differences in practice between countries and interdisciplinary settings will also be discussed, with the goal of identifying pathways toward more standardized and efficient dizziness diagnostics.
