76. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (c-VEMPS AND o-VEMPS) in the diagnosis of vestibular neuritis

Vestibular neuritis (VN) is a common neuro-otologic syndrome characterized by acute prolonged vertigo lasting several days, nausea, vomiting. Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are becoming the better diagnostic tool in this pathology. VEMPs can be recorded from tonically contracted neck muscles by acoustic and galvanic stimulation or forehead tap (cervical VEMPs, c-VEMPs) or from extraocular muscles, using the same stimuli. (ocular VEMPs, o-VEMPs). The aim of our study was to assess the reliability of c-VEMPs and o-VEMPs in the diagnosis of VN.
