Saccular Pathology Is Most Commonly Found in Patients With General Vestibular Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The first purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in the frequency of involvement of the superior vestibular nerve (SVN) and inferior vestibular nerve (IVN) territories in general vestibular disorders, and to identify which IVN territory was more commonly involved in patients with IVN lesions. The second purpose was to investigate the correlation of the degree of each saccular and posterior semicircular canal (PSCC) dysfunction, as represented by the parameters of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) and video head impulse test (vHIT), in patients with pathology of the IVN territory.

Methods

In total, 346 patients with dizziness who underwent the caloric test, cVEMP, and vHIT were enrolled. Canal weakness in the caloric test, inter
