  • Title: A proposal for introducing a modified vestibular index in neurotology. The classification of vestibular neuronitis.
    Author: Tóth A, Kisely M, Répássy G.
    Journal: Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol; 1996; 253(7):381-4. PubMed ID: 8891479.
    Abstract:
    The parameters for vestibular dysfunction were modified after our own studies. This index includes the degree of vertigo present, spontaneous nystagmus, dysfunction of the vestibulospinal reflexes and caloric and postrotatory side differences. The index is applicable for defining the extent of a lesion, follow-up, defining its stage and the results of therapy. Introduction of the modified vestibular index is proposed for use in clinical diagnosis. Classification of vestibular neuronitis into groups A, B and C is suggested on the basis of the reversibility of spontaneous nystagmus after caloric stimulation.
