Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess diagnostic trends in dizziness and imbalance in both pediatric and adult patients receiving multidisciplinary evaluations at a hospital from 2017 to 2020.
- A total of 1,934 patients, predominantly females, were reviewed, revealing that most were assigned a pathologic diagnosis, with central causes of dizziness more common in younger patients and peripheral disorders like BPPV and Meniere's disease more prevalent in older patients.
- The findings highlight the variability of vestibular disorders across different age groups, with conditions such as vestibular migraine being frequent in younger patients and an increase in peripheral vestibular disorders as patients age.
