Objectives: Inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA) is a common ocular motility disorder. Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (oVEMP) are tests that evaluate the reflex pathway between utricular macula and inferior to detect vestibular diseases. Our study of great importance as it first in literature effect on oVEMP parameters. Methods: Thirty-five patients with unilateral (IOOA grou...

BACKGROUND As a parameter for the evaluation of the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), amplitude has been used clinically. However, the significance of latency has not been considered. OBJECTIVE To clarify the diagnostic value of latencies of the VEMP. DESIGN We reviewed records of the VEMP of patients with various diseases and compared them with records of healthy volunteers. S...

UNLABELLED The vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a clinical test that assess the vestibular function by means of an inhibitory vestibulo-neck reflex, recorded in body muscles in response to high intensity acoustic stimuli. AIM To check and analyze the different methods used to record VEMPs in humans and in guinea pigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We researched the following databases...

By means of multimodal evoked potentials (EPs) we evaluated the central nervous system (CNS) involvement in 25 subjects suffering from myotonic dystrophy (MD): brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs), middle-latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEPs) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) from upper limb were performed on all the subject, whereas only the 19 patients, whose clinical o...
