Vestibular function tests for vestibular migraine: clinical implication of video head impulse and caloric tests [PDF]
Vestibular migraine (VM) is one of the most common causes of episodic vertigo. We reviewed the results of multiple vestibular function tests in a cohort of VM patients who were diagnosed with VM according to the diagnostic criteria of the Barany Society ...

Comparative utility of vestibular function tests in patients with peripheral and central vestibular dysfunction [PDF]
Background: Bithermal caloric irrigation, video head impulse test (vHIT), and rotational testing are commonly used to assess peripheral vestibular function, but the relative clinical utility of each test in differentiating patients with peripheral ...

Vestibular Function Tests in Children [PDF]
Vestibular function tests were performed on a series of 57 children between the ages of 1 and 16 years. Inattention and immaturity of eye movement control created difficulties in the analysis of the electronystagmography traces in some instances. With the eyes closed, spontaneous and positional nystagmus occurred in 20% of asymptomatic children and ...

PENDULAR ROTATION TEST AS A VESTIBULAR FUNCTION TEST
Main disadvantages of the Barany's rotation test are the non-physiologic stimulus and the discomfort felt by the subject as an inevitably accompanying phenomenon. The author's objective was to reduce the discomfort on the part of the subject by using horizontal pendular rotation instead of the strong continuous rotation in the same direction.

The Video Head Impulse Test in a Case of Suspected Bilateral Loss of Vestibular Function [PDF]
Introduction A patient who had no symptoms suggestive of bilateral loss of vestibular function presented no responses in rotational and caloric tests. Objectives To demonstrate the importance of the video head impulse test in neuro-otologic ...

Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials as a Test of Otolith Function [PDF]
<i>Objectives:</i> To evaluate the use of 75 auditory clicks rather than the usual 100–256 for production of the vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) response and to assess if the VEMP correlates with measures of cochlear function such as hearing loss (decibels on pure-tone testing) or auditory brainstem response (ABR).

Worldwide survey on laboratory testing of vestibular function [PDF]
The function of the peripheral vestibular system can nowadays be quantified. The video head impulse test (vHIT) and caloric irrigation are used for the semicircular canals, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) for the sacculus, and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP) for the utriculus. Because there is no agreement on

Role of Vestibular Function Tests in Cochlear Implantation [PDF]
ObjectiveVestibular function tests are often undertaken before cochlear implantation, in part to help select the side of surgery. We aim to determine whether implantation on the side of better vestibular function leads to greater dizziness than implantation on the side of worse or similar function.MethodA total of 177 unilateral implant recipients were
