Description

“The Dizziness Dilemma: Stroke or Not?” is a focused clinical session designed to help doctors confidently assess patients presenting with dizziness. It highlights key differences between central and peripheral causes, with an emphasis on early recognition of stroke and the use of structured clinical tools to guide timely diagnosis and management.

Objectives

Differentiate between central and peripheral causes of dizziness, with a focus on identifying stroke-related presentations. Apply a structured clinical approach, including history and bedside examination (e.g., HINTS exam), in evaluating patients with acute dizziness. Recognize red flags and risk factors that increase the likelihood of stroke in patients presenting with dizziness. Initiate appropriate early management and referral pathways for suspected stroke to improve patient outcomes.
