| Description | In order to evaluate to what extent different diseases causing vertigo can be detected by studying vestibulo-spinal and vestibulo-ocular reflexes, 146 patients were examined. The diagnosis classes were: periodical attacks, position induced attacks, vestibular neuronitis, brain concussion, cerebrovascular disorders and acoustic neurinoma. Dynamic posturo-graphy was performed on all the patients, standard bithermal caloric test on 129 and voluntary saccades on 127 patients. The proportion of pathological test results in posturo-graphy exceeded that in the caloric test in all but one diagnosis class. In vestibular neuronitis the amount of abnormal test results was low in posturography, probably due to vestibular compensation. Posturography tested with eyes open and with 80 Hz vibration revealed disturbances in equilibrium the most sensitively. |
