He had a remarkable family history with the presence of the same clinical course in a cousin, who was not clearly diagnosed as having Joubert Syndrome. He had apnea episodes, truncal ataxia, pendular nystagmus and mentalmotor developmental delay. He had a normal vestibuloocular reflex based on hea...

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...

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...

In order to evaluate high-frequency VOR function, the effects of different types of motion on visual acuity were evaluated in asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects. A new testing protocol of evaluating vestibular function was developed in an effort to enhance current treatment protocols.
