Awesome, I have been struggling with the HINTS exam for 1 year, which I finally understood in 10 mins lecture and whole dizziness in one video. thank you so much for excellent quality videos and material

[@meopai3]

Thank you very much, I struggle with patients with dizziness, I now can see the light, and hopefully turn water into wine some day.

OMG this is the best video about Dizziness i ever see, thanks

[@fatgezimbela7272]

Love this content, my only complaint is that we have to wait ~3-6 months between videos and my hunger for knowledge is great. I am a first year med student and would also love to connect if that is okay with you. I am an aspiring Pediatric Neurologist/Neurosurgeon.

[@theneurophile]

Sorry. The day job is getting in the way :)

[@fatima-ye5xz]

Please make videos on all neurosurgery topics

[@mariosgavriil5286]

Thanks a lot, i 'm a med student in greece aspiring to become a neurologist, this content is highly appreciated

[@theneurophile]

I'm glad.

[@Pau72Nihon]

Mi inglés no es muy bueno, por eso escribo en español, pero muchas gracias por su video, entendí muy bien todos los conceptos, explica todo de una manera fácil y que permite evaluar al paciente de manera más apropiada. De nuevo, muchas gracias por este aporte y sus otros videos, que ham sido una maravilla pars mí.

[@neurodiversidadetdah9599]

This is a very hard subject even for experienced neurologists.

Wait wait. He went to the er and the believed him when he said he is dizzy? I dont believe this story at all

[@radhagans63]

Very useful for practice and Post graduates

[@amyjrx]

THANKS a lot, really helpful! look forward to "recurrent, chronic vertigo" !

[@maryambahadori-k9k]

great video. question: during head impulse test patient tries to focus on the target (examiner's nose). So it is intentional. Why cortex is not involved?

[@theneurophile]

Would you mind clarifying your question? The visual fixation is intentional and the frontal eye fields play a role in that. But the head impulse still reveals imbalance between two sides of the vestibular system in patients with vestibular neuritis. Cortical lesions will present with a stable deficit rather than a deficit that is only discoverable by head impulse.

[@ermdjoo]

It's awesome. Wonderful lecture. Thanks !

Hi im 34 years old and i have a 1.8 cm colloid cyst in my brain and a vp shunt for hydrocephalus. Recently a suffered a severe episodes of vertigo. My neurosurgeon Said vertigo is not related to the cyst, but i M not So sure about it. Is posibile the cyst cause this vertigo? Thank you in advance 🥺

[@theneurophile]

I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am reluctant to offer any opinions based on the limited information provided. Unfortunately, it is impossible to diagnose and treat people without a full proper evaluation and review of imaging and medical records. I highly suggest that you visit a neurologist. I hope you feel better.

[@claudiugasca9376]

Thank you sir❤

[@claudiugasca9376]

Since it is So rare i would be so happy if you make a video about colloid cysts

[@zendoc49]

this feels like a rhythmic song and is totally useless presentation.I think the teacher loves his own voice

[@theneurophile]

I’m sorry you didn’t like it.

You are the best! Thank you for your approach

[@Collect2Disconnect]

I’ve been feeling dizzy every single day since the beginning of October I feel like I’m going to pass out and havent been able to work for 3 weeks after going to the ER. It has progressed to nighttime as well even when sleeping. All the test came back fine. Last night I became extremely dizzy and woke up at 2am and was extremely close to passing out laying in bed. I then experienced a panic attack which I believe helped me from actually fully passing out. Any opinions ?

[@theneurophile]

Hello again. You mention an immune/autoimmune modulated disorder talk. Is that embedded in another talk? Thank you!!

I still have to work on that talk. It's not ready yet.

I’m sorry to hear that. You may certainly make an appointment with a Neurologist at Rutgers RWJMS and we will try to help. I hope you feel better.

I have one Question. There is a patient who have dizziness. I did physical exam including HIT, SKEW test, The result is HIT is positive but SKEW test is negative, What does it mean? Thanks

[@theneurophile]

HIT positive/Skew negative is usually due to peripheral vestibulopathy (like vestibular neuritis).

[@ermdjoo]

@@theneurophile I am very appreciated to you. Thanks a lot.

[@pavolskacik5064]

Hello, can you tell how do approach a patient who presents with acute dizzines, but every examination is negative - he doesnt have objective neurological findings, negative CT and CTA also normal blood test, normal arterial pressure, normal ECG… He is just dizzy and has nausea or vomited once…can you tell that patient has vestibular syndrome? How would you classife it. Thank you!

[@theneurophile]

If the exam is completely normal and the patient is dizzy, you are likely dealing with a migraine.

[@pavolskacik5064]

@@theneurophile u would assume migraine even if a patient doesnt have history of headaches? Thank you for your answers! Really love your work.

[@theneurophile]

@@pavolskacik5064 Thank you. I generally try avoiding assumptions. I would have a differential and systematically eliminate the most dangerous etiologies in my mind first. Organic lesions (peripheral or central) tend to present with deficits that are clearly visible. Migraine is a functional disorder that activates trigemino-cervical complex (and affects the nearby vestibular system) but not to the extent that an organic lesion does. So that ends up being a common cause of episodic vertigo without evidence of neurological findings.

[@jobrownsmith116]

You're right! After a head trauma I had a onset of severe 24/7 Vertigo with nausea A MRI showed unilateral subtle middle cerebellar peduncle. Sadly it was not attributed to the head trauma.

[@theneurophile]

I am sorry that you are having difficulties. Unfortunately it is impossible to diagnose a person without being able to obtain full history, neurological examination and review all the imaging. I suggest you start by visiting a neurologist for a proper evaluation.
