AIM To investigate differences in vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) results with patients suffering from vestibular migraine and healthy people, taking into consideration values of threshold and latency of occurrence of the characteristic wave complex, size of amplitude, and interaural amplitude ratio. According to the results, determine the importance and usefulness of VEMP in vesti...

The vestibular system is crucial for postural control; however there are considerable differences in the task dependence and frequency response of vestibular reflexes in appendicular and axial muscles. For example, vestibular reflexes are only evoked in appendicular muscles when vestibular information is relevant to postural control, while in neck muscles they are maintained regardless of the r...

Objectives We retrospectively evaluated a chart review of 3,525 patients for any acute disturbance. A total 1,504 with vestibular syndrome (AVS) received an instrumental assessment within 72 h from the onset symptoms using simultaneously combination ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMPs), cervical (cVEMPs), video head-impulse test (vHIT), and subjective visual vertical (SVV) were ...

  Background :Aging can cause loss of balance, which may lead to physical and psychological problems. As the role of the otolith organs in maintaining postural stability has been emphasized in recent years, the present study investigated the effect of aging on saccular function using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP).   Methods : The participants were assigned into two grou...

Cerebellopontine angle tumors including schwannoma or meningioma are located around the vestibular nerve. In case of surgical removal, intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) modality such as brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) could detect its neurologic function. We demonstrate 2 cases cerebellopontine surgery using BAEP an IONM modality. And we also suggest how to deal with ...

INTRODUCTION The objectives of this preliminary, prospective, cohort study were to ascertain the characteristics of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials at threshold levels in two groups of Ménière's disease patients - acute and stable - and to identify whether vestibular evoked myogenic potentials can provide any specific, objective information to distinguish acute from stable Ménière's disea...

Audiological and vestibular testing plays an important role in diagnosis of Menière’s disease,as disease per se and as staging diagnosis. A battery of tests are recommended in order to have a better evaluation of the disease. Audiological testing includes pure tone audiometry, with highlights of bone conduction especially in acute episodes of Menière’s disease, speech audiometry and glycerol te...

UNLABELLED The vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a clinical test that assess the vestibular function by means of an inhibitory vestibulo-neck reflex, recorded in body muscles in response to high intensity acoustic stimuli. AIM To check and analyze the different methods used to record VEMPs in humans and in guinea pigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We researched the following databases...

OBJECTIVE To assess, for the first time in a human with a long-term vestibular loss, a modified approach to the ampullae and the feasibility of evoking a VOR by ampullar stimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Peroperative stimulation of the ampullae, using the ampullar approach, was performed under full anesthesia during cochlear implantation in a 21-year-old female patient, who had experienced b...

INTRODUCTION Vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) has recently been broadly studied in vestibular disorders. As it is evoked by loud sound stimulation, even mild conductive hearing loss may affect VEMP results. Bone-conducted (BC) stimulus is an alternative stimulation for evoking this response. This study aims to assess the characteristics of BC-VEMP in different groups of patients. M...
