title: Chronic isolated vertigo.
abstract: Vertigo can be the first manifestation of vertebrobasilar ischaemia or brainstem and cerebellar stroke. Chronic isolated vertigo may pose a diagnostic dilemma. We report the case of a patient who presented with chronic isolated vertigo, and highlight the clinical use of magnetic resonance imaging and angiography in his management.
