The central vestibular system is diffuse and is integrated into many different areas of the brain stem, cerebellum, spinal cord and cortex. There are many places along the pathways that are vulnerable to pathology, both acquired and traumatic. This course will describe the pathological conditions that may affect the central vestibular pathways. Differential diagnosis of central pathology is presented. Examination, evaluation, prognostic indicators and general intervention guidelines are discussed.
