Vestibulo-ocular reflex and the head impulse test.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors highlights the importance of the vestibulo-ocular reflex examination through the head impulse test as a diagnostic method for vestibular dysfunction as well as, and primarily, a bedside semiotic resource capable of differentiating between acute peripheral vestibulopathy and a cerebellar or brainstem infarction in emergency rooms.

Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Abnormalities in Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Pilot Study
Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), involving the semicircular canals, is one of the most common diseases of the inner ear. The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a new test that examines the function of the canals. This study aimed to investigate the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain, gain asymmetry and saccades after stimulating all six canals in patients definitively d...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the horizontal angular vestibulo-ocular reflex using a new motorized head impulse rotator and electro-oculography technique. DESIGN Prospective case-control study. PARTICIPANTS We included 22 healthy volunteers with unpredictable, horizontal motorized head impulses with a mean velocity of 170 degrees/s and a mean acceleration of 1550 degrees/s2. We recorded head an...

متن کاملNormative vestibulo-ocular reflex data in yaw and pitch axes using the video head-impulse test
Background and Aim: The video head-impulse test (vHIT) measures the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) driven by each semicircular canal, following high-acceleration head rotations. The main measurable response is the ratio of eye movement velocity to the angular head velocity, which reflects canal function. Although normative data is available for VOR gain, most studies only report horizontal VOR c...
متن کاملThe Caloric Test and the Video Head-Impulse Test in Patients with Vertigo
MATERIALS and METHODS: This is a prospective work in 123 patients with different types of vestibular disease seen because of dizziness in which both procedures were performed the same day. First, the spontaneous nystagmus and head-shake nystagmus were measured. The video head-impulse test was carried out, and finally, the caloric test was performed with water at two different temperatures. Both...
