Abstract: Vertigo and dizziness are among the most frequent complaints in medical practice. These are symptoms that become more common with age, and therefore indicate a higher prevalence in a not too distant future 1,2 . The history and the neuro-otological examination of these patients are essential in identifying any underlying disease. Except for some otolaryngologists, the vast majority of professionals interested in investigating and treating vestibular symptoms, including vestibular rehabilitation therapists and … Show more

“…The vestibule ocular reflex (VOR) is a simple, accurate, and fast reflex arc with a latency of 8–12 ms (Maranhão and Maranhão-Filho, 2012), and it consists of three main neuronal arcs (Bronstein and Lempert, 2009). The first goes from the vestibular end organs to the vestibular nuclei in the brain stem, the second from the latter to the oculomotor nuclei, and the third reaches the extraocular muscle.…”

“…20,21 The test is performed by having the patient stare at a central focal point, such as the examiner’s nose, and then the examiner briskly rotates the patient’s head in yaw, either left or right, approximately 20°. The test is positive (abnormal) if the examiner observes a saccade during counter-rotation of the eye.…”

“…Dies ist von besonderer Bedeutung, da diese Patienten mit der klassischen Vestibularisprüfung mittels rotatorischer und bithermischer Prüfung als peripher-vestibulär gesund erscheinen und dadurch eine otogene Schwindelursache zunächst als unwahrscheinlich erscheint. Seit Einführung des Kopfimpulstestes in Verbindung mit der von Robinson eingeführten Search-Coil-Technik oder videoassistiert ist eine hochfrequente Bogengangsuntersuchung möglich und wurde auch schon vielfach beschrieben [1,3,4,[7][8][9]23]. Die bisherigen Untersuchungen beruhen v. a. auf Untersuchungen an Patienten mit Schwindel im Akutstadium.…”

“…In der Diagnostik des akuten Schwindels spielt der von Halmagy und Curthoys 1988 erstmals beschriebene Kopfimpuls-Test [1] zur Testung des horizontalen Bogengangs eine herausragende Rolle [2][3][4]. Insbesondere wird seine Bedeutung zur einfachen, sensitiven und orientierenden Differenzierung zwischen zentralen und peripher-vestibulären Schwindelformen hervorgehoben [5,6].…”
