Abstract

When the vascular disorder of the cochleovestibular system is mentioned, the diagnosis is based on exclusion of other diseases. Since arteries of the cochleovestibular system cannot be directly visualized, physicians must deduce from the vascular risk factors and the vascular lesion of other territories to the vascular cochleovestibular disease. Authors analyzed neurootological and audiological examination results of 65 patients with vascular vertigo. The cochleovestibular system disorders can be considered to be of vascular origin if the examinations exclude other diseases, if the patients have vascular risk factors and if other territories of brain accessible for imaging methods show vascular disorders.
