Objective: To explore the correlation between BAEP and vestibular peripheral and central vertigo.

Conclusions: BAEP examination can be used for the location of the patient with vestibular system vertigo, and it's a more sensitive to distinguish between vestibular peripheral and central vertigo.

Conclusion The brainstem auditory evoked potentials can sensitively reflect the brainstem auditory action, and can also distinguish the periphered, central and compound vertigo.
