Conclusion
Physical examination and medical history are still the first steps in
the definitive diagnosis of peripheral vertigo. vHIT is a new protocol
and provides objective findings for SCC functions. vHIT can be performed
faster and easier than the caloric stimulation test for VN diagnosis,
and its results are comparable to the caloric test. However, a negative
vHIT test may help early diagnosis of central etiology in patients
presenting with acute vertigo. vHIT does not provide sufficient results
for BPPV to distinguish from other peripheral vestibular system diseases
or does not indicate the involvement of the responsible SCC.
