Abstract:
Video Head Impulse Test (v-HIT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing acute and chronic vestibular disorders but may yield false negatives in acute vestibular neuritis. Clinical judgment remains paramount; integrating patient history, physical findings, and ancillary tests ensures accurate diagnosis, especially when v-HIT results conflict with the clinical picture and other diagnostic tools.

4.3K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

01:29The Vestibular System
39.3K
The vestibular system is a set of inner ear structures that provide a sense of balance and spatial orientation. This system is comprised of structures within the labyrinth of the inner ear, including the cochlea and two otolith organs—the utricle and saccule. The labyrinth also contains three semicircular canals—superior, posterior, and horizontal—that are oriented on different planes.
