Cervical Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Sedated Toddlers

Abstract Introduction Cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) are difficult to test in toddlers who cannot follow instructions or stay calm. Objective Due to the growing need for vestibular testing in very young children as a part of a delayed walking assessment battery, this study ai...

Effect of caffeine on vestibular evoked myogenic potential: a systematic review with meta-analysis

Abstract Introduction: Caffeine can be considered the most consumed drug by adults worldwide, and can be found in several foods, such as chocolate, coffee, tea, soda and others. Overall, caffeine in moderate doses, results in increased physical and intellectual productivity, increases the capacity of co...

Evaluation of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) and electrocochleography for the diagnosis of Ménière's disease

Abstract Introduction: Ménière's disease (MD) is an inner ear disorder characterized by episodic vertigo, tinnitus, ear fullness, and fluctuating hearing. Its diagnosis can be especially difficult in cases where vestibular symptoms are present in isolation (vestibular MD). The definitive diagnosis is ...

Aging and wave-component latency delays in oVEMP and cVEMP: a systematic review with meta-analysis

Abstract Introduction: The natural aging process may result in morphological changes in the vestibular system and in the afferent neural pathway, including loss of hair cells, decreased numbers of vestibular nerve cells, and loss of neurons in the vestibular nucleus. Thus, with advancing age, there shou...

Combined ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential in individuals with vestibular hyporeflexia and in patients with Ménière's disease

Abstract Introduction: The vestibular evoked myogenic potential is a potential of mean latency that measures the muscle response to auditory stimulation. This potential can be generated from the contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and also from the contraction of extraocular muscles in respons...

Role of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) in the evaluation of vestibular schwannoma

Abstract Introduction: Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) can assess the integrity of the inferior vestibular nerve thereby promising to be a useful tool in the audiological test battery to diagnose vestibular schwannoma. Objective: To ascertain the utility of cVEMP in diagnosis of ...

Potencial evocado miogênico vestibular cervical em crianças e adolescentes sem queixas vestibulares

Audiol., Commun. res; 22 (), 2017
RESUMO Introdução O Potencial Evocado Miogênico Vestibular Cervical (cVEMP) tem se tornado uma medida fidedigna e complementar da avaliação vestibular. A investigação das alterações de ordem vestibular na população pediátrica é de grande importância, pois essas alterações podem acarreta...

Refractory episodic vertigo: role of intratympanic gentamicin and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials

Abstract Introduction: Even today, the treatment of intractable vertigo remains a challenge. Vestibular ablation with intratympanic gentamicin stands as a good alternative in the management of refractory vertigo patients. Objective: To control intractable vertigo through complete saccular and horizonta...

Vestibular migraine: clinical and epidemiological aspects

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Vestibular migraine (VM) is one of the most often common diagnoses in neurotology, but only recently has been recognized as a disease. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with VM. METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational, and des...
