Vertigo is defined as a sensation of rotation or imbalance and is a common complain for emergency room consultation. Approximately between 5% and 7% of patients who consulted their general physician in the last year have presented vertigo. Therefore, it is essential to have an adequate understanding of this disease to properly distinguish between the principal causes as it orients proper treatment. This article is a review of the main symptoms, frequently used clinical exams and relevant etiologies, in order to provide a simple orientation to general practitioners.
