Introduction:
Controversy persists on the value of electrooculography (EOG) in the diagnosis of the unbalanced patient. The aim of this study has been to know the utility of EOG in the diagnosis of patients with equilibrium disorders.
Material And Methods:
We have examined 1000 patients in whom EOG test has been performed for unbalance symptoms. Results have been classified in peripheric or central pattern. Those patients included in the central pattern group have been compared with the results of imaging techniques.
Results:
45.7% of EOG performed showed pathological signs, 29.2% were of peripheral characteristics and 16.5% of central ones, of whom 6% showed different pathologies in the imaging test.
Discussions And Conclusions:
EOG in now a days of high value in the diagnosis of unbalanced patient, specially in those cases in which other clinical explorations were normal.
