Vestibulär evozierte Potenziale – Untersuchungstechnik und klinische Bedeutung

Vestibular evoked potentials can be investigated to test the integrity of a reflex which involves peripheral vestibular receptors (mainly the sacculus), the vestibular nucleus and the neck muscles. This test is easy to apply and will result in pathological findings in several diseases with involvement of the vestibular organs. Here, the technique for investigating this reflex is presented as well as its clinical applications.
