VEMP use has been developed during last 20 years. Yet, criteria for diagnosis of several patologies does not include their results. ¿Can we think about vestibular dysfunction only affecting gravitational receptors?
¿Can we evaluate hydrops affecting only vestibular receptors?
The Lecture aims to reflection on these topics, and shows why these studies should be part of ENT daily practice.
Main topics: use of vemps in deaf people, use of vemps in chronic dizziness, use of vemps to diagnose endolymphatic hydrops.
Discussion about indications of VEMPs
