Diagnosis of dizziness in the emergency department: A 1-year prospective single-center study.

Background: The management of dizziness and vertigo can be challenging in the emergency department (ED). It is important to rapidly diagnose vertebrobasilar stroke (VBS), as therapeutic options such as thrombolysis and anticoagulation require prompt decisions.

Objective: This study aims to assess the rate of misdiagnosis in patients with dizziness caused by VBS in the ED.
