Having determined whether a patient has central or peripheral vestibular disease, clinicians must then determine what diseases are likely to result in such a presentation. This article describes the more common diseases causing vestibular disease in dogs and cats. Having formulated a list of potential causes of vestibular disease, clinicians should proceed through a systematic investigation to ...

The Hyperventilation Test is widely used in the "bed-side examination" of vestibular patients. It can either activate a latent nystagmus in central or peripheral vestibular diseases or it can interact with a spontaneous nystagmus, by reducing it or increasing it. Aims of this study were to determine the incidence, patterns and temporal characteristics of Hyperventilation-induced nystagmus in pa...

Purpose: To identify and systematize the main studies on the ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials and their applications in the diagnosis of various vestibular diseases. Research strategy: Articles that describe the use of ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials the evaluation of vestibular diseases were located in PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, LILACS e SciELO. Selection...

the vestibular system is important for the development of normal movement reactions, motion tolerance, and motor control for postural alignment, balance, and vision. a vestibular system that is damaged by disease or injury in childhood can have a major impact on a child's development. in addition, the emergence of vestibular lesions may also lead to cognitive deficits, including attention defic...

Dizziness is a common symptom in medical practice, and may be associated with over 300 diseases. Although most cases of dizziness are related to vestibular system dysfunction, some result from involvement of other parts of the body. Recent studies have shows that there is an association between auditory/vestibular symptoms and autonomous nervous system dysfunction, suggesting that this may be a...

The vestibular system consists of the peripheral vestibular organs in the inner ear and the associated extensive central nervous system projections-from the cerebellum and brainstem to the thalamic relays to cortical projections. This system is important for spatial orientation and balance, both of critical ecological importance, particularly for successful navigation in our environment. Balanc...

background: noise can cause permanent or temporary hearing loss. high levels of noise may stimulate the vestibular system and thereby cause disturbances in the balancing mechanism. objective: to determine the effect of long-term exposure to occupational noise on the vestibular system. methods: a dizziness questionnaire was administered to 20 factory workers who were exposed to occupational nois...
