TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Assessment of driving in patients with vertigo and dizziness JO - Nervenarzt A1 - von Brevern, M. A1 - von Stuckrad-Barre, S. A1 - Fetter, M. SP - 841 EP - 846 VL - 85 IS - 7 N2 - The driving performance of patients with dizziness and vertigo has gained only minor attention so far. Patients with permanent vestibular loss or with episodic vestibular symptoms can experience difficulties in driving a motor vehicle. The presence of a chronic or episodic syndrome presenting with dizziness and/or vertigo does not automatically exclude the ability to drive. Assessment of driving performance should consider the degree of the deficits and compensation in chronic dysfunction and the severity and frequency of attacks, prodromes and triggers of symptoms in episodic disorders.
