Application of the video head impulse test to detect vertical semicircular canal dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a useful clinical tool to detect semicircular canal dysfunction. However, so far, vHIT has been limited to measurement of the function of the horizontal semicircular canals. The goal of this study was to determine if vHIT can detect vertical semicircular canal dysfunction. STUDY DESIGN Horizontal and vertical eye movements were recorded in respo...
متن کاملCanal switch after canalith repositioning procedure for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Canal switch is a complication following canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) for posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Instead of being returned to the utricle, the loose otoconia migrate into the superior or horizontal semicircular canal. Patients remain symptomatic, and treatment can be ineffective unless the switch is recognized and additional repositioning maneuver...
متن کاملSemicircular canal occlusion causes permanent VOR changes.
We measured the guinea pig horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (hVOR) to high acceleration impulsive head rotations following a unilateral lateral semicircular canal (LSCC) occlusion. We found a significant hVOR deficit for rotations toward the side of the occluded LSCC and this deficit did not show systematic changes over 3 months. We considered the LSCC nerve was still functional as shown by t...
متن کاملThe induction and compensation of asymmetric eye movements following unilateral blockage of a horizontal semicircular canal in the rabbit.
The influence of unilateral plugs of the left horizontal semicircular canal (LHC plugs) of rabbits on the development and compensation of asymmetric eye movements evoked by horizontal vestibular stimulation was studied. LHC plugs caused an immediate reduction of 50-65% in the gain of the horizontal vestibuloocular reflex (HVOR). This reduction in gain was achieved without altering the symmetry ...
متن کاملCommissural inputs to secondary vestibular neurons in alert cats after canal plugs.
Gaze is stabilized during head movements primarily by the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR). After a unilateral canal plug, the VOR's response is reduced. Recovery of the VOR may be brought about by changes in the efficacy of brain stem synapses or by other mechanisms. We measured the responses of horizontal secondary vestibular neurons (HSNs) to stimulation of the contralateral labyrinth. HSN respo...
