Abstract: Objective: To understand the videonystagmography (VNG) findings in various balance disorders in 67 patients who presented to the outpatient department of an otorhinolaryngology clinic.Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient department of the otorhinolaryngology clinic of a tertiary care center. A total of 67 patients between the age group of 18 and 70 years with balance disorders were included in the study. VNG findings in different balance disorders were observed and … Show more

Motorist’s vestibular disorientation syndrome (MVDS) is a disorder in which patients experience dizziness while driving. MVDS is under-reported in the literature, and in clinical practice, it often goes unrecognized. We identified clinical characteristics of patients with MVDS using data from 24 patients who faced difficulties while driving and were diagnosed with MVDS. Their symptoms, duration of illness, precipitating factors, co-morbidities, history of other neuro-otological disorders, severity of symptoms, and associated anxiety and depression were reviewed. Ocular motor movements were recorded using video-nystagmography. Patients with vestibular disorders that can cause similar symptoms while driving were excluded. The mean age of the patients was 45.7 ± 8.7 years, and most were professional drivers (90.5%). The duration of the illness ranged from eight days to ten years. Most patients presented with disorientation (79.2%) exclusively while driving. The most common triggers for symptoms were higher speeds, i.e., >80 km/h (66.7%), multi-lane roads (58.3%), bends and turns (50%), and looking at other vehicles or signals while driving (41.7%). A history of migraines was reported in 62.5% of the patients, and motion sickness was reported in 50% of the patients. Anxiety was reported in 34.3% of patients, and 15.7% had depression. The video-nystagmography did not show any specific abnormalities. Patients responded to drugs used in prophylactic treatments for migraines such as Amitriptyline, Venlafaxine, Bisoprolol, and Magnesium, and to Pregabalin and Gabapentin. Based on these findings, a classification system and a diagnostic criterion for MVDS were proposed.

Introduction: Meniere's disease is a condition characterized clinically by episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a sensation of fullness in the ear. The symptoms are caused by the endolymphatic hydrops. Despite numerous studies, the exact mechanism of its onset remains unknown. The current diagnostic criteria published by international societies are based on clinical symptoms. Due to the variable clinical presentation of the disease, there is a need to search for effective diagnostic tools.Methodology: The article discusses various methods assessing inner ear function in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease, including video Head Impulse Test, videonystagmography with caloric tests, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, dynamic posturography, and electrocochleography. The results of aforementioned tests with patterns typical for Meniere’s disease are also presented.Summary: This article presents a comprehensive diagnostic review of Meniere's disease using vestibular organ examination methods, emphasizing the importance of various research methods for an accurate understanding and diagnosis of this complex disease.
