Abstract
Dizziness and vertigo are a frequent cause of medical attention; even with the most sophisticated resources we are unable to establish an etiology in many cases. However it is often possible to obtain a diagnosis if clinical criteria are used. In this paper we reviewed the frequency of presentation of the different causes of dizziness and we include clinical criteria for diagnosis. We also present the main causes of acute non-positional vertigo and some therapeutic recommendations.
