Key: VPPB= benign paroxysmal postural vertigo/ Ménière = Ménière disease/ VEST. = vestibulopathy

IVB= vertebrobasilar insufficiency

Ny= nystagmus/: SVPDU = Unilateral Deficit Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome /SVPIU = Unilateral Irritative Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome/ SVPI = Irritative Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome / SVPIB= Bilateral Irritative Peripheral Vestibular Syndrome

SC = Central Syndrome / NORMAL= Normal Vestibular Exam

RVO= vestibule-ocular reflex (Davis & O’Leary Protocol)/ PED= Herdman protocol - static-dynamic posture / RCO= cervical-ocular reflex (Herdman protocol - sight stabilization/OPTO=optokinetic (Ganança Protocol)/AOOI = Associazione Otologi Ospedalieri Italian
