Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the difference of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) stimulated by bone-conduction (BC) and air-conduction (AC) in patients with nonspecific dizziness.Methods: Twenty-eight dizzy (56 ears) 15 subjects (30 as normal control enrolled. Responses BC- AC-cVEMP were recorded sequentially both groups. cVEMP parameters including laten...

Purpose: To identify and systematize the main studies on the ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials and their applications in the diagnosis of various vestibular diseases. Research strategy: Articles that describe the use of ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials the evaluation of vestibular diseases were located in PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, LILACS e SciELO. Selection...

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder is a clinical disorder where the outer hair cell functioning is intact but the functioning of the auditory nerve is affected. Since, the 8(th) nerve is constituted by both the auditory and vestibular branch of nerve fibers, there are chances that the vestibular nerve might also be affected. Hence, the current study was carried out in order to determine the ...

AIM To investigate differences in vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) results with patients suffering from vestibular migraine and healthy people, taking into consideration values of threshold and latency of occurrence of the characteristic wave complex, size of amplitude, and interaural amplitude ratio. According to the results, determine the importance and usefulness of VEMP in vesti...

  Background :Aging can cause loss of balance, which may lead to physical and psychological problems. As the role of the otolith organs in maintaining postural stability has been emphasized in recent years, the present study investigated the effect of aging on saccular function using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP).   Methods : The participants were assigned into two grou...

Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a short-latency myogenic response recorded from the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) in response to saccular stimulation. The currently understood VEMP was first described by Colebatch and Halmagyi and Colebatch et al. [1, . Since then, VEMPs have become a standard clinical test of otolith function [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, . At present, they are of...

AIM To verify whether vestibular evoked myogenic potentials can present abnormalities in the affected ear and in the asymptomatic ear in patients with diagnosis of unilateral Ménière's disease. STUDY DESIGN Transversal cohort. MATERIAL AND METHOD The vestibular evoked myogenic potentials of 20 patients with unilateral Ménière's disease were analyzed. The selection of individuals was based o...

To demonstrate the feasibility and clinical significance of cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) test in pediatric patients.Retrospective review study was conducted in a pediatric tertiary care facility. A total of 278 patients were identified with adequate data, including medical notes, results of cVEMP, and imaging studies.Among the total of 278 pediatric patients, only 3 chi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical pathophysiology of oculomotor changes in a patient presenting with a spontaneous semicircular horizontal canal plug. PATIENT A 42-year-old man with acute spontaneous vertigo with spinning and persistent left-horizontal nystagmus, intensity but not direction dependent on head orientation with respect to gravity, indicating a benign paroxysmal positional verti...
