ENT ordered a CTA, ENG, and audiological exam to be administered, as well as an appointment with a neurologist. All will probably take at least a few weeks to get scheduled.

I'm not too familiar with the best way to diagnose upper cervical issues, but shouldn't an issue be captured by the CTA vs. an MRI/A of the neck? Or is there another, better imaging exam/test that can be used to detect cervical issues?

You may ask about getting checked for nystagmus. It is an eye movement test.

My best to you.
