The book aims to provide a timely update on a group of disorders of growing clinical and research interest. Vertigo and dizziness are far from being rare in total population and approach to them has significantly changed in the last years. This handbook reports in a practical way what has been recently published on these disorders. As a result, the neurologist will be able to acquire the tools to recognize, diagnose and treat numerous clinical pictures that often border on the expertise of ENT specialists and audiologists. The authoritative interdisciplinary working group that compiled the book intended to provide a practical and integrative view, useful in understanding and solving the problems related to these pathologies (Vestibular Migraine and related disorders) in daily practice. A part on other episodic vertigo has also been included in this handbook, as well as a part which deals with the physiology of the vestibular end organ.
