Vestibular symptoms of vertigo, dizziness and dysequilibrium are common complaints which can be disabling both physically and psychologically. Routine examination of the ear nose and throat and neurological system are often normal in these patients.

New Tests of Vestibular Function
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001Abstract: The vestibulo‐ocular reflex (VOR) is the only drive for short‐latency eye movements stabilizing the retina during externally imposed, sudden, high‐head accelerations. New strategies can exploit this unique VOR feature to study it under conditions relevant to the daily lives of patients, and to exclude the contributions from confounding ...

Audiological and vestibular function tests in hypothyroidism
The Laryngoscope, 1977AbstractA battery of audiological and vestibular function tests have been performed in 72 cases of confirmed hypothyroidism. The severity of hypothyroidism was graded as mild, moderate or severe depending upon serum protein‐bound iodine estimation. The incidence of hearing impairment, tinnitus and vertigo was correlated with the severity of the disease

Labyrinthine Vestibular Function and Testing Methods
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1960Certain segments of the internal ear, the vestibular apparatus, are concerned solely with the function of equilibrium, certain portions with hearing, and at least one section may have a dual role. As a continuous fluid mechanism, individual anatomic divisions and individual functions cannot always be isolated.

A NEW ALCOHOL-CALORIC TEST FOR VESTIBULAR FUNCTION
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956While many adequate tests for vestibular, or labyrinthine, function have been described in the literature, 1 we have found the following procedure to be the most satisfactory for our use under most circumstances. Because of its simplicity we feel it worth while reporting for the benefit of those who feel the need for a quick and reliable qualitative ...

Aqueductal stenosis—results of vestibular function tests
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1985A case of aqueductal stenosis is reported. The patient was a 14-year-old Japanese girl who was suffering from bilateral tinnitus and unsteadiness of gait. A series of neuro-otological tests revealed prolonged acoustically evoked brain stem response (ABR) latency, disturbed standing reflex, inhibited optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) and ataxic eye tracking ...

Rotational Tests of Vestibular Function
Seminars in Hearing, 2009Rotational tests are aimed at producing a more natural, precise, repeatable, and broadband evaluation of the vestibular function. Currently, two types of rotation tests are in clinical use: passive whole-body rotation where the stimulus is produced by a motorized chair, and active rotation where the stimulus is produced by voluntary head movements.

Testing the central vestibular functions: a clinical survey
Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 2000In vestibular examinations anomalies in the saccade and smooth pursuit tests as well as the fixation suppression after caloric stimulation might indicate central lesions in the vestibular system. Additionally, a high gain in the torsion test is suspicious of cerebellar dysfunction.

Monothermal Caloric Testing in the Screening of Vestibular Function
Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2010The alternate binaural bithermal caloric test (ABBT) is the standard test for evaluation of the dizzy patient. Monothermal caloric testing (MT) has the potential benefits of reducing the administration time and patient discomfort. The goal of the present study was to investigate the role of MT screening in the prediction of ABBT results.ABBT results of

New tests of vestibular function.
Bailliere's clinical neurology, 1995Three new, simple, clinically applicable tests of vestibular function are described. The first is a test of the response of the lateral semicircular canals to high accelerations. The test can even be done at the bedside where it can reveal severe unilateral or bilateral loss of lateral canal function. The test can also be recorded in a laboratory where
