The EEGs of 30 patients with central vertigo were examined by caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS). The control group consisted of 30 persons without vertigo disturbances. In the standard procedure (and after hyperventilation), there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients. In comparison to the EEGs of healthy persons, CVS produced statistically significant differences ( P<0.001) in the EEGs of patients with vertigo.

Objective: Acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy or vestibular neuritis (AUPV/VN) manifests as acute onset vertigo, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and moderate gait instability. It is suspected when vestibular hypofunction is documented on video-head impulse (video-HITs) and caloric tests in the presence of contralesionally beating horizontal-torsional nystagmus. Herein, we report patients presenting with acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) showing selective otolithic dysfunction in the presence of normal caloric and video-HITs and abnormal enhancement of the peripheral vestibular structures on MRI.

Background And Purpose: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a common clinical disorder with a genetic predisposition characterized by recurrent episodes of dizziness/vertigo. Patients often complain of the presence of cognitive dysfunction manifestations such as memory loss, which causes great distress in daily life. In this study, we will explore the characteristics and possible risk factors of VM-related cognitive dysfunction by observing the cognitive function and vestibular function status of VM patients, laying the foundation for further exploration of the mechanisms of VM-related cognitive dysfunction.

Vestibulopathy in Patients Presenting With Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

Otol Neurotol Open

December 2024

Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Los Angeles, California.

Objectives: Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) refers to a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus in the distribution of the facial nerve, but it can involve other cranial nerves as well. In patients with polyneuropathy, the vestibulocochlear nerve is most involved after the facial nerve. The clinical manifestations and long-term vestibular outcomes in these patients remain unclear.

This study aimed to compare the effects of cochlear implantation(CI) on vestibular function in patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome(LVAS) and in patients with extremely severe deafness with normal inner ear structure. A total of 28 LVAS patients and 28 patients with normal inner ear structure who suffered from extremely severe deafness were selected. The parameters of caloric tests, bone conduction evoked cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials(cVEMP), bone conduction evoked ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials(oVEMP) and video head impulse tests(v-HIT) were compared between the two groups before and after CI.
