The head impulse test (HIT), and in particular the instrumental setup (video head impulse test, vHIT), represent a fast and efficient investigation method for the rapid differentiation between a brain stem infarction or cerebellar infacrtion and acute vestibular loss accompanied by a symptom constellation of acute dizziness with nausea, vomiting and horizontal spontaneous nystagmus.
