“…But they did not find any significant difference between the BD group and the control groups (p = 0.06) as regards to the mean latencies of wave p13-n23 response. IAAD values were found to be similar in cVEMP between the two groups [33].…”

Background Hearing is commonly impaired in Behçet’s disease (BD). Also, vestibular abnormalities as well as cochlear function affection have been found. The inflammatory process which leads to BD may be the cause of vestibular frequency audiometry abnormalities in those patients. The aim of this study is to assess hearing and vestibulo-colic reflex in Behçet patients using convential pure-tone audiometry (cPTA), high-frequency audiometry (HFA), and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP). Results This study included 25 patients with BD (group I), whose age ranged from 21 to 45 years, with a mean age of 34.24 ± 7.07 years. The control group (group II) comprised 20 normal adults whose ages are between 21 and 45 years, with a mean age of 30.8 ± 8.02 years. The measured cVEMP parameters which include the mean peak latency of P13 and the mean peak latency of N23 were statistically significantly different between the patients suffering from BD and the control groups. All BD patients had high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) starting from 4 up to 12.5 kHz. The mean thresholds of the audiometry were significantly higher in the diseased group. Conclusion cVEMP testing can be used for the evaluation of the vestibulo-colic reflex in BD patients. The occurrence of hearing loss especially in high-frequency regions is a common finding in patients suffering from BD, and a HFA may be a valuable tool in early exploration of hearing loss in patients with BD.

“…The present study agreed with that of Bayram et al who mentioned that the number of patients suffering from SNHL was significantly higher in the group of patients than the control group both in cPTA and HFA. In HFA, seven patients were detected to have SNHL who were in normal limits in cPTA [33].…”

“…Bayram et al also found abnormal cVEMP findings in their study, while oVEMP did not detect any pathology. 18 The head impulse test was described by Halmagyi and Curthoys in 1988 vHIT is a test that measures eye speed with light camera glasses and captures saccades when high-speed head movements are affected by impaired VOR functions. 19,20 In a short time, VOR was evaluated at high frequencies for all semicircular canals.…”

Behçet's disease (BD) is characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, uveitis and vasculitis throughout the body. There are not many studies in the literature on the involvement of the vestibular system in BD. Our aim is to evaluate the vestibular system in Behçet's patients and to determine the clinical importance of video head impulse test (vHIT). Material and Methods: Twenty patients (11 females and nine males) with BD and 15 healthy volunteers (seven females and eight males) were included in the study. Pure tone audiometry (PTA), videonystagmography (VNG), dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) and vHIT tests were administered to all individuals. Data were evaluated by statistical methods. Results: The mean age of the patients with BD was 44±11.2 years, and the mean age of the healthy volunteers was 42±13.3 years. The DHI scores of the patient group were higher than the control group. Results of vHIT showed significantly lower VOR gain in the left lateral, right, and left posterior semicircular canals in the BD group compared to the control group. Nine (45%) of the BD patients had overt saccade, but none had covert saccade. Overt and covert saccade were not observed in the healthy volunteers. Conclusion: vHIT is a fast and accurate test that can be used to evaluate the vestibular system in patients with BD.

“…However, so far there is limited information about the results of cVEMP evaluation in BD, which are contradictory. Erbek et al and Abdel Baki et al reported an increase in peak latency of p13 and n23 in patients with BD [6,18]; while Bayir et al reported a decrease in response rate and latency of n23 peak and Bayram et al reported no difference in cVEMP responses between patients with BD and normal controls [2,14]. tibulo-ocular reflex (VOR).…”

Background and Aim: Behcet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic, chronic and progressive disorder with a relatively high prevalence in Iran. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the vestibular function between Iranian BD patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular- evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) and video head impulse test (vHIT). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 44 patients with definitive BD in the inactive stage of disease and 30 age and sex matched normal subjects were evaluated via cVEMP and vHIT tests and dizziness handicap inventory (DHI). Then the parameters of the tests were compared between the two groups by statistical methods. Moreover, the effects of DHI scores and other contextual variables on the test results were examined. Results: In terms of the cVEMP test, the response rate and mean latency of p13 in the left ear were significantly lower, the amplitude of the cVEMP wave in the left ear and the amplitude asymmetry ratio were significantly higher in BD patients compared to normal subjects (p<0.05). Fifteen BD patients had abnormal amplitude and nine patients had abnormal latency of cVEMP responses. In terms of the vHIT test, the mean vestibule-ocular reflex gain of the left posterior semicircular canal and the mean gain asymmetry ratio of lateral canals were significantly higher in BD patients than in the controls (p<0.05). Conclusion: the vestibular system of some patients with BD is disturbed and the results of this study indicate the presence of unilateral vestibular weakness in BD. So vestibular assessment can be helpful for these patients. Keywords: Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials; video head impulse test; saccule; semicircular canals; behcet’s disease
