A NEW ALCOHOL-CALORIC TEST FOR VESTIBULAR FUNCTION

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956
While 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, 1985
A 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 ...

Testing the central vestibular functions: a clinical survey

Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 2000
In 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.

Rotational Tests of Vestibular Function

Seminars in Hearing, 2009
Rotational 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.

Monothermal Caloric Testing in the Screening of Vestibular Function

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2010
The 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, 1995
Three 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

Relevance of function tests in the diagnosis of vestibular disorders

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1994
The diagnostic value or relevance of a vestibular function test is dependent on the whole clinical and functional context of each particular case. It is not the ability to show 'abnormality' in a high number of patients complaining of whatever kind of vertigo, that indicates the relevance of a function test.

Functional Testing of the Vestibular Nerve

1981
There are very many persons in this world who, at some moment or the other, are troubled by some sensation of instability, or movement or incertainty. The intensity of this sensation is no indicator for the seriousness of its cause, neither is the exactitude of its description by the patient.

[Today's tests of vestibular function].

Revue medicale suisse, 2008
New tests of the vestibular function have been developed. They should help to explain some clinical situations. The paper describes 3 tests today used routinely in most centers, with a special emphasis on the sign of Halmagyi, or head impulse test.

Vestibular function testing: Where are we in 1983?

The Laryngoscope, 1983
AbstractConceptual, technological, electronic and computer revolutions have transformed the methodology for evaluating the patient with dysequilibrium. What has been said and written for the past 25 years is not currently applicable.Present day, cost effective, clinical evaluation format is presented, including changes and deletions in the conventional
