• Note (General): type:Thesis; Objectives: The purpose of this study was to access the contribution of vertigo/dizziness-related patients' interview and examinations during short-term hospitalization in determining the accurate final diagnosis of vertigo/dizziness of unknown origin. Methods: We reviewed 1905 successive vertigo/dizziness patients at the Vertigo/Dizziness Center of Nara Medical University, who were introduced from general otolaryngologists at outpatient town clinic from May 2014 to April 2020. However, 244 patients were diagnosed with vertigo/dizziness of unknown origin (244/1905; 12.8%). Of these patients, 240 were hospitalized and underwent various examinations, including caloric test (C-test), video head impulse test (vHIT), vestibular evoked cervical myogenic potentials (cVEMP), subjective visual vertical (SVV), inner ear magnetic resonance imaging (ieMRI), Schellong test (S-test), and self-rating questionnaires of depression score (SDS). Results: According to the examination data, together with interviewed vertigo/dizziness characteristics and daily changeable nystagmus findings, the final diagnoses were as follows: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV: 107/240; 44.6%), orthostatic dysregulation (OD: 56/240; 23.3%), vestibular peripheral disease (VPD: 25/240; 10.4%), vestibular migraine (VM: 14/240; 5.8%), Meniere's disease (MD: 12/240; 5.0%), gravity perception disturbance (GPD: 10/240; 4.2%), psychogenic vertigo (Psycho: 10/240; 4.2%), and unknown (Unknown: 6/240; 2.5%). Supporting factors of final diagnosis was seen in gender, evoked dizziness, and positional nystagmus as BPPV; in evoked dizziness, S-test, and hypertension as OD; in evoked dizziness, head shaking after nystagmus, C-test, and vHIT as VPD; in gender, headache, and S-test as VM; in ear fullness and ieMRI as MD; in gender, evoked dizziness, and SVV as GPD; and in SDS as Psycho. To sum up, the ratios of Unknown were significantly reduced by this short-term hospitalization (244/1905→6/240). Conclusions: The answer lists for vertigo/dizziness of unknown origin obtained in the present study may be helpful for future general otolaryngologists at outpatient town clinic to better attain an accurate final iagnosis.; 博士（医学）・乙第1523号・令和4年3月15日; © 2020 Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan Inc.
