Vertigo and loss of balance are frequently encountered in primary care. Neurotology can contribute to the primary care of vertigo and loss of balance by organizing a battery of tests to establish diagnosis. The tests are classified into the following five: 1) neurotological tests, mostly for brainstem functions, 2) tests for visual fixation on a target, stationary or tracking; 3) examinations of nystagmus without visual fixation but with postitional and positioning procedures; 4) auditory examinations; and 5) caloric tests. The diagnostic significance and clinical evaluation of these tests are presented with comments. These tests and other clinical examinations should give conclusions in diagnosing vertigo and/or loss-of-balance in the following categories: 1) the existence, degree and nature, 2) the location, and 3) the cause of the lesion.
