Resumen
El vértigo se define como una sensación rotacional de movimiento y es uno de los principales motivos de consulta en urgencias. Aproximadamente entre el 5 y 7% de los pacientes que asisten a consulta de Medicina General han presentado esta afección en el último año. Por este motivo, es necesario tener una adecuada orientación de los casos que permita identificar su causa y diferenciar entre la patología central y periférica lo que permitirá abordar los pacientes de una manera adecuada, que permita distinguir aquellos que requieran hospitalización para estudios complementarios de los que pueden ser manejados ambulatoriamente.
A continuación, revisaremos los principales síntomas clínicos, las pruebas semiológicas más utilizadas y las etiologías más relevantes para describir un abordaje sencillo de este síndrome.
