Potential application of ocular and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in Meniere's disease: a review.
By stimulating the ear with air-conducted sound or bone-conducted vibration stimuli, vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) can be recorded on the contracted neck muscles, termed cervical VEMP (cVEMP), and on the extraocular muscles, termed ocular VEMP (oVEMP). These two electrophysiological tests expand the test battery for clinicians to explore the dynamic otolithic function, adding a po...
متن کاملThe potential dysfunction of otolith organs in patients after mumps infection
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between mumps and the extent of hearing impairment and otolith organ damage. METHODS A total of 27 patients with unilateral hearing impairment following mumps were enrolled. The degrees of hearing loss and otolith organ damage were confirmed by audiometric and vestibular evoked myogenic potential [VEMP] tests. All the results were compared and analyze...
متن کاملThe Physiological Basis of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials
Purpose of review Although the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) measured from the cervical muscles (cVEMP, cervical VEMP) is well described and has documented clinical utility, its analogue recorded from the extraocular muscles (oVEMP, ocular VEMP) has been described only recently and is currently emerging as an additional test of otolith function. This review will, therefore, summar...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the roles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), auditory evoked potentials (AEP) and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) in the evaluation of brainstem involvement in multiple sclerosis (MS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Altogether 32 patients with the diagnosis of MS participated in the study. The following data was collected from all patients...
متن کاملVestibular Function Tests for Vestibular Migraine: Clinical Implication of Video Head Impulse and Caloric Tests
Vestibular migraine (VM) is one of the most common causes of episodic vertigo. We reviewed the results of multiple vestibular function tests in a cohort of VM patients who were diagnosed with VM according to the diagnostic criteria of the Barany Society and the International Headache Society and assessed the efficacy of each for predicting the prognosis in VM patients. A retrospective chart ana...
