Skull Vibration-Induced Nystagmus (SVIN)-An Update
09-11, 17:00–17:30 (Europe/Istanbul), Equilibrium 2 (ICC - B2 Floor - Hamidiye)

Skull vibration induced nystagmus (an updating point)


SVIN is a useful indicator of the asymmetry of vestibular function in UVL patients and is currently a useful clinical indicator in SCD diagnosis. An after nystagmus is regularly observed in third mobile window syndromes as a robust and specific indicator. The future clinical development of this first line global (canal and utricle) vestibular test is promising and is a current model for a better understanding of vestibular physiology. It bypasses the velocity storage system in UVL
