Vestibüler Tanısal Testler

Denge; vestibüler, görsel ve proprioseptif duyulardan gelen bilginin beyin sapı düzeyinde bütünleştirilmesi ile sağlanır. Vestibüler sistemde fonksiyon bozukluğu; algısal, okulomotor ve postural bozukluk ile vertigo, dizziness, nistagmus, ataksi ve bulantı gibi bulgularla karakterizedir. Vestibüler sendromların teşhisi multidisipliner yaklaşım gerektirir. Göz hareketlerinin, semisirküler kanalların, otolitlerin test edilmesinde ve postural kontrolün değerlendirilmesinde tanısal testler kullanılır. Bu derlemenin amacı, vertigo, dizziness ve dengesizlik şikayeti olan hastaların değerlendirilmesinde klinikte yaygın olarak kullanılan tanısal testler konusunu ele almaktır

Vestibular Diagnostic Tests

Balance is maintained through the integration at the brainstem level of information from the vestibular, and the visual and proprioceptive sensory modalities. Dysfunction of the vestibular system is commonly characterized by phenomena involving perceptual, ocular motor, postural disorders and vertigo, dizziness, nystagmus, ataxia, and nausea symptoms. The diagnosis of vestibular syndromes always requires interdisciplinary thinking. Vestibular diagnostic tests are also used to assess eye movements, semicircular canal and otolith in addition to determine postural control. The purpose of this review is to provide information about vestibular tests used most commonly in a clinical setting to assess patients with vertigo, dizziness and imbalance
