Initial Consultation
Clinical Examination
Videonystagmography (VNG)
The assessment begins with a detailed medical history and discussion of symptoms, including the nature, duration, and triggers of vertigo or balance issues.
A thorough examination includes assessing eye movements (nystagmus), head movements, and postural stability.
VNG records eye movements to evaluate the function of the inner ear and central motor functions. It helps in identifying abnormalities in the vestibular system.
