vestibular involvements have long been observed in otosclerotic patients. among vestibular structures saccule has the closest anatomical proximity to the sclerotic foci, so it is the most prone vestibular structure to be affected during the otosclerosis process. the aim of this study was to investigate the saccular function in patients suffering from otosclerosis, by means of vestibular evoked ...

BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects brain and spinal cord. The infratentorial region contains the cerebellum and brainstem. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are short-latency myogenic responses. Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) is a manifestation of vestibulocolic reflex and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potenti...

Abstract Background Vertigo and dizziness are very common complaints that may be related to epilepsy. The purpose of this study was assess vestibulo-spinal linear vestibulo-ocular function in epileptic patients the inter ictal period. current observational carried out audio-vestibular unit Menoufia University. Subjects were divided into two groups: control group included 30 normal individuals n...

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...

Vestibular reflexes in humans can be assessed by means of acoustically evoked responses of myogenic origin. For the vestibular-collic pathway this is termed the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (or VEMP) and for the vestibular-ocular pathway the ocular VEMP (or OVEMP). Usually VEMPs require an averaging process to obtain a clear response against the background myogenic activity, but dependi...

meniere’s disease is the disorder of inner ear characterized by vertigo, tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss. the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (vemp) test could be useful in the analysis of saccular function, and diagnosis of meniere’s disease. in this study, we’ve analyzed the saccular function, using vemp test in different groups of meniere’s disease. patients were categorized as ...
