ABSTRACT
Patients with the cardinal symptoms "vertigo" or "dizziness" may be a real challenge for the treating otorhinolaryngologist. While the first part of this educational series was focused on history taking and bedside neurotological examination, the present paper is devoted to difficult aspects of vestibular laboratory testing, including getting the indication right, what to do if my patient is not able to fully cooperate during the tests, how to choose the adequate diagnostic procedure depending on the patient's comorbidities, how to interpret discordant results of various tests. Finally the paper addresses which conclusions can be drawn (and cannot be drawn) from normal findings in vestibular testing and how to communicate this result to the dizzy patient.
