Objective: To characterize the response in the video head-impulse test for the assessment of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in patients because of vertigo and dizziness.
Materials And Methods: After rightward and leftward head impulses, the following results evaluated were: gain of the reflex and appearance of refixation saccades. A particular type of response (normal gain VOR and refixation saccades) was evaluated in a group of patients.
Results: In patients with a unilateral abnormality consisting of normal gain and refixation saccades, there was a close concordance with the diseased side and the side to which head impulses elicited the abnormal result.
Conclusion: In the assessment of patients with dizziness, finding a normal gain VOR with refixation saccades indicates the existence of a peripheral vestibulopathy and localizes to the side of the lesion.

To evaluate whether infrared video imaging can supplement traditional examination and imaging methods to identify and quantify symptomatic vitreous opacities. A prospective nonrandomized nonmasked series was performed that included eyes of consecutive patients with a primary complaint of symptomatic vitreous opacities. A macular vitreous opacity score (0-4) was developed to grade the size of the opacities in relation to the macula after refixation of up, down, left, and right saccades.

Objectives: The present study aimed to measure an association between the caloric test and vestibulo-ocular reflex gain and refixation saccades in individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorders.
Methods: Twenty individuals (9 males and 11 females), in the age range of 17 to 38 years, diagnosed with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorders, and 20 normal-hearing individuals (age and gender matched) participated in the study. All the individuals underwent case history, pure tone audiometry, immittance evaluation, otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem response, caloric tests and video head impulse tests.

Background And Purpose: This study was undertaken to examine vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) characteristics in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) using video head impulse testing (vHIT).
Methods: VOR gain, refixation saccade prevalence, first saccade amplitude, onset latency, peak velocity, and duration were compared in DM1, DM2, age-matched normal controls, and patients with peripheral and central vestibulopathies.
Results: Fifty percent of DM1 and 37.

Usher Syndrome classification takes into account the absence of vestibular function but its correlation with genotype is not well characterized. We intend to investigate whether video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) is useful in screening and to differentiate Usher Syndrome types. 29 Usher patients (USH) with a genetically confirmed diagnosis and 30 healthy controls were studied with vHIT and dizziness handicap inventory questionnaire (DHI).
