    Journal Article

    The occurrence during the last year of vestibular disorders, faints and drop attacks was investigated in 150 patients consecutively admitted to a geriatric hospital. The clinical features of these episodes were recorded by means of a proper questionnaire. True vertigo and/or feeling of unstable equilibrium were referred by 54,6% of the patients inquired into, whereas episodes interpretable as faints and drop attacks showed by far lower prevalences, respectively 13,3% and 6%. The Authors call attention to the difficulties in differential diagnosis among these three kinds of phenomena in the current practice.
