OBJECTIVE To measure the frequency dynamics of cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in healthy subjects and patients with Ménière's disease. STUDY DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING A university teaching hospital. SUBJECTS Eight healthy volunteers (16 ears) and 12 adult patients with unilateral Ménière's disease (8 with definite disease and 4 with probable dis...

Key points • The Tullio phenomenon is sound-induced vertigo, nystagmus, or both. • Hennebert sign is pressure-induced vertigo, nystagmus, or both, elicited by insufflation of the external auditory canal. • Typically, in affected patients with superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome, there is a several-year history of symptoms that may include sound-induced vertigo (Tullio phenomenon), p...

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...

Introduction: The majority of the daily life activities involve the concurrent performance of simultaneously challenging motor and cognitive activities, such as talking while walking, which requires the vestibular system for balance. Functional balance allows the brain to interpret and integrate the sensory information from our physical and social environment. This study aimed to investig...

BACKGROUND This study compared vestibulocollic reflex and vestibulo-ocular reflex functioning in subjects with and without human immunodeficiency virus. It also described test results throughout progression of the disease and compared the results of human immunodeficiency virus positive subjects who were receiving antiretroviral therapies with those not receiving this treatment. METHODS Subje...
