Abstract

The diagnosis of patients in modern neuro-otogical centres has to include not only history and examination, but also objetive and quantitative tests.
In this study stress the importance of a short but significant
Many authors had reported different usefull studies in the evaluation of the
nystagmus which may be spontaneous and induce, any one of these have been
given to study the vestibular function through of vestibuloespinal, retinalocular, vestibuloocular systems in the Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) and the Computarized Electronystagmography (CNG).
Upon researching 1340 patients suffering from we found that 48.16 % of the caseshave backgrounds of vascular origin prevailing within this group patologies which are secondary to the process of hydrodynamic alternations.

Through the Doppler´s Ultrasonography of head and neck (USD), the modern physician can help himself to complement his better Diagnostic correlating all the background, clinical description, vestibular results (exploration of vestibuloespinal, retinalocular, vestibuloocular systems) of the patient suffering from vertigo
This study has motivated the research of vestibular function through of the studies CCG, CNG and the circulatory hydrodynamic through the USD´s technology in the patient suffering from vèrtigo, in order to determine and orientate the better vestibular diagnosis.
