Abstract

Many authors had reported different useful studies in the evaluation of the vestibular function through vestibular, somatosensorial, viso-cortical systems in the Test of Balance.1,8 and to study the vestibular function through vestibuloespinal system in the Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) 2,3,4
Upon researching 100 patients suffering from vertigo we found that 36 % of them were male patients and 64% female. The age average for the first group was 50.88 years and for the second 47.98 years.
The modern physician can help himself to complement a better Diagnostic, correlating all the background, clinical description, vestibular results of the patient suffering from vertigo. This study has motivated the research of vestibular function through the studies of Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) 5,6,7 and the Test of Balance in order to determine and orientate a better vestibular diagnosis.
