Abstract
Acute vertigo is a severe condition that requires urgent treatment. Vertigo can be caused by peripheral or central vestibular disorders of various etiopathology. Whatever the reason of vestibular dizziness, it is characterized by severe attacks with imbalance, nausea and vomiting in the acute period. Symptomatic treatment consists of vestibular suppressants and antiemetic drugs. There are several key principles regarding management of patients with vertigo that includes combined use of vestibular suppressants and antiemetics, which allows potentiation of their effects, limitation the use of symptomatic therapy to 2–3 days and perhaps earlier initiation of vestibular rehabilitation which effectiveness can be improved with agents that stimulate central vestibular adaptation.
