Introduction Vector electronystagmography is widely used to evaluate vestibular function; however, elderly patients may show changes not due to vestibular disorders. Aim This study aims to characterize vector electronystagmography tests in the elderly participants in a service station of the Brazilian public health system, the Unified Health System (SUS) in the city of Natal, who presented with...

OBJECTIVE To determine the best clinical method for identifying peripheral vestibular nystagmus, by comparing eye movement examination with optic fixation, and with fixation removed using Frenzel's glasses, infra-red video-Frenzel's goggles or an ophthalmoscope, with results of electronystagmography. METHOD One hundred patients referred for electronystagmography from the audiovestibular medic...

UNLABELLED Electronystagmography (ENG) and videonystagmography (VNG) are eye movement recording methods used for the evaluation of balance disorders. AIM To compare literature information on the similarities, differences, advantages e disadvantages between ENG and VNG. MATERIALS AND METHODS review of the scientific literature. RESULTS ENG and VNG are very helpful methods for evaluating ba...

The objective was to develop, from a pool of clinical electronystagmography (ENG) data, normal lower limits for the corneo-retinal potential (CRP). The CRP evaluated in the present study was derived as a byproduct of eye movement calibration with a computerized ENG system. The data set was collected from a cohort of patients without history of ophthalmic disease. This normative study was design...
