Comment différentier un vertige périphérique de central?
Décrire le “hints” test
The first part of HINTS is the head impulse test and as described earlier, a corrective saccade indicates a positive test and is more reassuring for vestibular neuritis. The second part (nystagmus) refers to a direction change of nystagmus on eccentric gaze. For example, when the patient looks to the left, the fast component beats to the left; and when the patient looks to the right, the fast component beats to the right. This direction-changing nystagmus may indicate a stroke in a patient with acute vestibular syndrome. The third part (test of skew) refers to vertical ocular misalignment during alternate cover testing and its presence is suggestive of brainstem strokes
