Abstract:

The literature review is devoted to the practical application of the method of recording vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in the diagnosis of the inner ear diseases: superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome, Meniere’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis. Registration of VMEP is an electrophysiological research method that allows to assess objectively the functional state of the otolith receptors (sacculus and utriculus) and their pathways, which expands the diagnostic capabilities in diagnosis of the inner ear diseases.

Keywords:

vestibular evoked myogenic potentials
cervical VEMPs
ocular VEMPs
benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
Meniere’s disease
vestibular neuritis
semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome
