Abstract:
Background: Diagnosis of Vertigo demands that the complaint of vertigo be analyzed correctly, the nature of the disturbance of function being determined first and then its anatomic localization. Vestibulonystagmography (VNG) has been recommended as a dependable investigation of vertigo. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of Video Nystagmography (VNG) in the diagnosis of vertigo &to assess the benefit of VNG in confirmation of canalolith repositioning in patients with BPPV after Epley’s maneuver. Methods: A Prospective Observational Study was conducted among patients of peripheral Vertigo attending Al Ameen Medical College, Vijayapura, Karnataka, India. A total of 110 patients were includedin the study. The patients were followed up on 7th day, 14th day and at 3 Months. Among patients of BPPV, EpleyManuere was performed at first visit and 7th day follow up & its impact was assessed at 7th day and 14th day respectively. At 3 months both Dix Hallpike& VNG were performed. Results: Out of the five tests of VNG, four tests (which include Saccadic Test, Gaze Test, Optokinetic Test and Caloric Test) were Normal in all the 110 patients. The Position Test was Positive in 72.73% of patients which indicates that 72.73% patients had either BPPV or Vestibular Neuritis. Dix Hallpike test was positive in 75 cases (68%) & 35 patients (31.8%) had a negative result. Conclusion: VNG is a simple, reliable and objective diagnostic tool forevaluation of patients presenting with Vertigo & it can differentiate between a central and peripheral vestibular lesion.
