Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Will it be a potential diagnostic tool?
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the incidence of VEMP abnormalities in patients suffering from BPPV. Methods: 30 consecutive patients referred to our vertigo clinic were selected as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria and evaluated as per the standard vertigo protocol. VEMP was performed on patients with BPPV and results compared to other parameters by detailed statistical analysis. Results: We observed that VEMP was not a helpful tool in diagnosing BPPV. There was no correlation between VEMP changes and BPPV, but VEMP is an additional tool to the currently available tests for peripheral vertigo. Conclusions: According to our study VEMP was not a useful test in diagnosing BPPV
