Two technically simple tests, vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) and subjective visual vertical/horizontal (SVV/H) test, have the potential to transform otolith function testing from the research laboratory to the outpatient clinic. Cervical- and ocular-VEMPs are short latency surface potentials produced through the activation of saccular and utricular afferents by sound and vibration. They are tests of dynamic otolith function. The SVV/H test in peripheral lesions probes static asymmetries in utricular function and represents a perceptual error in perceived gravitational vertical/horizontal. VEMPs and SVV/H enable the characterization of patterns and severity of otolith dysfunction in common vestibular disorders. Combined with tests of semicircular canal function, they provide a useful tool for eliciting diagnostic profiles in vestibular neuritis and Ménière's disease. VEMPs are valuable in the pre-surgical confirmation of superior semicircular canal dehiscence and in some cases, may alert the clinician to the presence of a vestibular schwannoma in patients with symmetrical hearing.
期刊介绍：
Material for each volume in this series has been skillfully selected to document the most active areas of otorhinolaryngology and related specialties, such as neuro-otology and oncology. The series reproduces results from basic research and clinical studies pertaining to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, course, prognosis and therapy of a variety of ear, nose and throat disorders. The numerous papers correlating basic research findings and clinical applications are of immense value to all specialists engaged in the ongoing efforts to improve management of these disorders. Acting as a voice for its field, the series has also been instrumental in developing subspecialities into established specialities.
