Abstract
Introduction: It is unknown whether prodromal dizziness (PD) before an attack of vestibular neuritis (VN) has an association with peripheral vestibular lesions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the severity of vestibular dysfunction has an association with the presence of PD.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 88 consecutive unilateral VN patients with unilateral canal paresis in caloric testing. Caloric test, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential test to air-conducted sound (ACS cVEMP), ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential test to bone-conducted vibration (BCV oVEMP) and video head impulse test (vHIT) were used as vestibular function tests. Binomial logistic regression analyses were performed to see whether the subjects' age, sex, disease duration or the presence of PD is associated with the presence of vestibular dysfunction.
Results: Seventeen (19%) experienced an episode of PD. There was no significant association between the presence of PD and abnormality in ACS cVEMPs, BCV oVEMPs, vHIT for the posterior semicircular canal (SCC) or vHIT for the lateral SCC. The presence of PD had a significant positive association with abnormality in vHIT for the anterior SCC (ASCC) (p = 0.0248).
Conclusions: The presence of PD in VN may be associated with the peripheral vestibular lesion.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Otolaryngology is a bimonthly journal devoted to clinically-oriented research papers of the highest scientific standards dealing with:
current otorhinolaryngological practice
audiology, otology, balance, rhinology, larynx, voice and paediatric ORL
head and neck oncology
head and neck plastic and reconstructive surgery
continuing medical education and ORL training
The emphasis is on high quality new work in the clinical field and on fresh, original research.
Each issue begins with an editorial expressing the personal opinions of an individual with a particular knowledge of a chosen subject. The main body of each issue is then devoted to original papers carrying important results for those working in the field. In addition, topical review articles are published discussing a particular subject in depth, including not only the opinions of the author but also any controversies surrounding the subject.
• Negative/null results
In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.
