Diagnosing vestibular hypofunction: an update. [PDF]
AbstractUnilateral or bilateral vestibular hypofunction presents most commonly with symptoms of dizziness or postural imbalance and affects a large population. However, it is often missed because no quantitative testing of vestibular function is performed, or misdiagnosed due to a lack of standardization of vestibular testing.

Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction in a Tertiary Dizziness Center: Occurrence and Etiology. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The primary goal of this study was to determine the occurrence of bilateral vestibular hypofunction in a specialized dizziness clinic and to assess the etiology in patients diagnosed with bilateral vestibular hypofunction. Secondary goal was to find out if the diagnosis was already made before the patient was seen at our clinic. METHODS: A

Prevention of Severe Vestibular Hypofunction after Systemic Gentamicin [PDF]
The importance of early evaluation by a neurotologist in patients with infective endocarditis treated with systemic gentamicin and its impact on the patients’ quality of life was evaluated. This is a longitudinal retrospective cohort study of 29 patients who received intravenous gentamicin for the treatment of infective endocarditis.

Heading direction perception in the horizontal plane is strongly driven by rotational stimuli in healthy and impaired in vestibular hypofunction [PDF]
Self-motion perception relies on the central integration of vestibular, visual and proprioceptive sensory inputs into a coherent percept of self-motion. To better understand the central integration of linear and rotational stimuli, we examined rotational
