Anatomic and Physiologic Properties and Clinical Manifestations ofVestibulo-Autonomic Reflexes

The vestibular nervous system senses linear and angular acceleration upon the head during postural change generates nerve activity changes. autonomic regulates involuntary physiologic processes throughout peripheral central systems. systems interplay several brain regions to maintain homeostasis changes, called vestibulo-autonomic reflex. In this review, we first contemplated anatomic properties of reflex, focusing on relationship between cardiovascular respiratory role brainstem cerebellum Then, summarized dysfunction reported in patients with various disorders, such as acute unilateral vestibulopathy, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, persistent perceptual dizziness. Finally, described mechanism manifestation disorders detail using recently proposed syncope integrating system, cerebellum, functions.
