ABSTRACT
The authors highlights the importance of the vestibulo-ocular reflex examination through the head impulse test as a diagnostic method for vestibular dysfunction as well as, and primarily, a bedside semiotic resource capable of differentiating between acute peripheral vestibulopathy and a cerebellar or brainstem infarction in emergency rooms.
RESUMO
Os autores ressaltam a importância do exame do reflexo vestíbulo-ocular por meio do teste do impulso da cabeça como método diagnóstico de hipofunção vestibular. Este método é também - e principalmente - um instrumento semiótico de beira do leito capaz de auxiliar no diagnóstico diferencial entre a vestibulopatia periférica aguda e o infarto cerebelar ou do tronco cerebral na sala de emergência.
