چکیده

RESULTS: Among 2671 patients, 23.4% (626) needed MRI to diagnose vertigo of central origin. Of these, 4.6% (122/2671) of patients had confirmed vertigo of central origin, such as cerebral infarction (2.4%, 63/2671) or cerebral vascular accident (0.7%, 19). For the diagnosis of a central cause of acute isolated vertigo in patients in the ED, the sensitivity of MRI was 89.3%, and the specificity was 100%. In both young adult and adult patients, the frequency of central vertigo increased in patients with underlying diseases.

Quantitative video-oculography to help diagnose stroke in acute vertigo and dizziness: toward an ECG for the eyes.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Strokes can be distinguished from benign peripheral causes of acute vestibular syndrome using bedside oculomotor tests (head impulse test, nystagmus, test-of-skew). Using head impulse test, nystagmus, test-of-skew is more sensitive and less costly than early magnetic resonance imaging for stroke diagnosis in acute vestibular syndrome but requires expertise not routinely a...

CLINICAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN AUDITORY BRAIN STEM RESPONSE AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN PATIENTS WITH DEFINITE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

In an attempt to assess objectively the integrity of the auditory pathways in 30 patients with definite multiple sclerosis (MS), an audiometric evaluation was performed and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were obtained. Stressing the auditory system by increasing the stimulation rate showed some enhancement in the identification of MS. 24 (RO%) patients had an abnormal ABR along with c...
