AIM:  To increase the effectiveness of the differential diagnosis of peripheral and central vertigo in patients with recurrent episodes of balance disorders using the protocol of neurovestibular examination ALGORITM. MATERIAL AND METHODS:  The study included 120 outpatients with preliminary diagnoses of cerebral ischemia and autonomic vascular dystonia. RESULTS:  Signs of lesion of peripheral and central regions of the vestibular system were found in 43.5 and 17.5% patients, respectively. Benign positional vertigo was the most frequent cause of vertigo while chronic cerebral ischemia was identified in 16.5% of the patients. CONCLUSION:  Neurovestibularexamnation using the protocol ALGORITM is important for assessment of the level of vestibular system lesion. Iitis necessary to use it in complex examination of patients with complaints of vertigo.<p /> <p>Language: ru</p>",
