This review will attempt to cover the significant advances in the ability to diagnose acute vertigo that have occurred in the last two decades. The review discusses the role of neurological examinations, imaging and specific oculomotor examinations. The review then discusses the relative attributes of the Head Impulse-Nystagmus-Test of Skew plus hearing ('HINTS+') examination, the timing, triggers and targeted bedside eye examinations ('TiTrATE'), the associated symptoms, timing and triggers, examination signs and testing ('ATTEST') algorithm, and the spontaneous nystagmus, direction, head impulse testing and standing ('STANDING') algorithm. The most recent technological advancements in video-oculography guided care are discussed, as well as other potential advances for clinicians to look out for.
