title: The Doppler stress test for the vertebral arteries.
abstract: The authors propose a new method of dépistage and thorough diagnostic examination of temporary vertigo caused by extrinsic compression of the vertebral arteries. This method is easy to execute, noninvasive, reliable, and relatively inexpensive. Its purpose is to confirm diagnosis by documenting criteria that are visible and reproducible.
