Sažetak

Vertigo is a common symptom, and may represent a serious neurological disorder. If it develops suddenly, it may be a symptom of an acute stroke.
Neurosonology can be used in cerebrovascular disorders in order to asses the vessel patency, or to present different craniocervical artery diseases. Atherosclerotic changes may be seen, as well as inflammatory diseases, dissections, vasculopathies or vascular malformations. By means of a transcranial Doppler the intracranial hemodynamics can be assessed. A development of collateral pathways in extra- or intracranial occlusive diseases can be presumed, cerebral vasomotor reactivity can be tested, and, with the application of new softwares, microembolic signals can be detected.
Neurosonology can be used in a variety of neurological disorders presenting with vertigo.
