Subjective visual vertical test in patients with chronic dizziness without abnormal findings in routine vestibular function tests.

CONCLUSION The subjective visual vertical (SVV) test can detect abnormality of the otolithic organs and the graviceptive pathways present in a considerable number of patients having dizziness but presenting no abnormal findings in conventional vestibular function tests. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the SVV test can detect dysfunction of the otolithic organs and perception of gravity in patie...

Comparison of horizontal and vertical dynamic visual acuity in patients with vestibular dysfunction and nonvestibular dizziness.

Blurred vision with head movement is a common symptom reported by patients with vestibular dysfunction affecting the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). Impaired VOR can be measured by comparing visual acuity in which there is no head movement to visual acuity obtained with head movement. A previous study demonstrated that dynamic visual acuity (DVA) testing using vertical head movement revealed def...

Subjective visual vertical in vestibular disorders measured with the bucket test.

CONCLUSION The 'bucket test' may indicate that patients with known vestibular disorders have spatial orientation deficits but due to the low receiver operating characteristics (ROC) values it is not useful for screening people for vestibular impairments. OBJECTIVES 1) to verify that patients with unilateral peripheral vestibular weakness (UW) differ from normal subjects on the bucket test, 2)...

Subjective Visual Vertical Perception in Peripheral Vestibular Diseases

Objective: to examine the utility of subjective visual vertical (SVV) measurement in peripheral vestibular diseases. Materials and Methods: 91 patients were evaluated. Among them, 40 subjects were diagnosed with an acute unilateral vestibular loss (AUVL), 30 patients with a benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and 21 with Ménière’s disease (MD). In AUVL, we carried out a baseline (BT) an...

Are test results from Subjective Visual Vertical and Ocular Vestibular Evoked Potentials correlated in a Danish Cohort of Patients admitted to a tertiary Dizziness Clinic?


 Objectives: To investigate if any concordance exists between oVEMP and SVV results in a heterogeneous group of patients admitted with first time monosymptomatic vertigo. Methods: The retrospective clinical study included 103 patients referred to a tertiary dizziness clinic due to first time monosymptomatic vertigo. All patients were examined with SVV and oVEMP. The tests were compared by mean...
