HINTS to Diagnose Stroke in the Acute Vestibular Syndrome: Three-Step Bedside Oculomotor Examination More Sensitive Than Early MRI Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Stroke 40:3504-3510, Kattah,J.,et al, 2009 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Skew predicts brainstem involvement in AVS and can identify stroke when an abnormal horizontal head impulse test falsely suggests a peripheral lesion. A 3-step bedside oculomotor examination (HINTS: Head-Impulse�Nystagmus�Test-of-Skew) appears more sensitive for stroke than early MRI in AVS.
