{Abstract}: Vertigo is a common symptom that can have various causes and may require a comprehensive approach for its diagnosis and treatment from primary care. A diagnostic algorithm based on the classification proposed by the Otoneurology Commission of the SEORL-PCF is suggested, which facilitates the classification of the different types of vertigo and provides referral criteria for patients from primary care to other specialties. A review of the available treatments based on the underlying cause is conducted for appropriate therapeutic management. This document is expected to become a valuable tool for professionals treating patients with vertigo. The document is based on scientific evidence and on the experience of experts in the field from various medical specialties; and seeks to improve the understanding and clinical approach to acute vertigo from primary care.
