OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the role of clinical parameters, MRI and ocular VEMP (oVEMP) and cervical VEMP (cVEMP) as predictors of development of @entity740 after @entity388 . METHODS: Twenty-six @entity1 with @entity388 were included: 15 @entity1 (58%) showed complete clinical recovery, and 11 @entity1 (41%) were diagnosed with the syndrome of @entity740 . Clinical parameters ( @entity391 , nystagmus, postural stability, and @entity390 ) were assessed at diagnosis. MRI was performed within 3months and VEMP within 6days and at 1year after the initial presentation. The amplitude asymmetry ratio (AR) was calculated using the following formula: AR=((healthy side-affected side)/(healthy side+affected side) 100). RESULTS: Of all studied parameters, only chronic white matter supratentorial lesions present on brain MRI negatively correlated with clinical recovery (Phi coefficient=-0.637, p=0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that positive brain MRI and older age reduced odds for clinical recovery. There was no correlation between clinical recovery and oVEMP AR recovery between groups (p=0.781). Seven @entity1 showed improvement, and 19 showed worsening on oVEMP AR after a 1-year follow-up. Statistical regression model for predicting the outcome of clinical recovery using asymmetry score recovery, as an independent variable, was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Older age and chronic @entity62 on brain MRI are positive predictors of development of @entity740 after @entity388 . VEMPs are not useful in predicting the development of @entity740 .
