Human bipedestation is a complex process of cerebral integration of visual, somatosensitive and vestibular information. Therefore, our requirement as physicians, is to try to objectify these cybernetopathologies through studies, in order to be able to prescribe a suitable therapy. The purpose of this work is to submit a comparative statistical study between posturography and other […]
There are different stimulation methods for investigation of the vestibular system. In addition to optokinetic, galvanic and neck vibration tests the most wide-spread is the caloric stimulation. These listed methods cause not only vestibular but other different effects on the central nervous system (CNS) (acustic, tactile and nociceptive). The authors using positron emission tomograhy (PET) […]
Objectives/Hypothesis: Despite its widespread application in the posterior fossa tumor, the study of VEMP in cases of posterior fossa stroke remains scarce. The purpose of this paper is to establish the role of VEMP in patients with brainstem stroke. Methods: Acute vertigo patients were admitted and underwent a battery of audio-vestibular testings including caloric test […]
