OBJECTIVE: To clarify the extent of the @entity394 in @entity2459 with @entity9468 using vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in response to click (click-VEMP) and galvanic (galvanic-VEMP) stimulation, as well as caloric tests. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: University hospital. @entity1 : We enrolled 22 @entity1 with @entity2459 with @entity9468 in this study. All @entity1 underwent audiometry and click-VEMP and caloric tests. Eight @entity1 underwent a galvanic-VEMP test. RESULTS: Among the 22 @entity1 , 17 (77%) showed an absence of click-VEMPs on the affected side. In response to caloric testing, 10 @entity1 (45%) showed a decreased response on the affected side. All 8 @entity1 who underwent galvanic-VEMP testing showed normal responses. Most @entity1 with decreased caloric responses (9 [90%] of 10 @entity1 ) showed an absence of click-VEMPs, whereas 9 (53%) of the 17 @entity1 who showed abnormal click-VEMPs showed decreased caloric responses. Initial hearing level and hearing outcome significantly correlated with abnormalities on the vestibular test results. CONCLUSIONS: The lesion site of @entity394 in @entity2459 with @entity9468 appeared to be within the labyrinth on the basis of galvanic-VEMP findings. Results of the click-VEMP and caloric tests suggested that the saccule could be involved more frequently than the semicircular canals. The combined use of click-VEMP and caloric tests is useful for evaluating vestibular functions in @entity2459 with @entity9468 because the extent of @entity394 correlated well with hearing outcome.
