Hippocampal volume in patients with bilateral and unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have found that peripheral vestibular dysfunction is associated with altered volumes in different brain structures, especially in the hippocampus. However, published evidence is conflicting. Based on previous findings, we compared hippocampal volume, as well as supramarginal, superior temporal, and postcentral gyrus in a sample of 55 patients with different conditions of peripheral vestibular dysfunction (bilateral, chronic unilateral, acute unilateral) to 39 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. In addition, we explored deviations in gray-matter volumes in hippocampal subfields. We also analysed correlations between morphometric data and visuo-spatial performance. Patients with vestibular dysfunction did not differ in total hippocampal volume from healthy controls. Howev
