Abstract
To demonstrate that neurogenic vestibular evoked potentials (NVsEP) may be specific to the vestibular system using three cases of vestibular system dysfunction and normal auditory function,
Neurogenic vestibular evoked potentials were performed by recording from the parietal areas of the scalp using a tone-pip auditory stimulus via headphones. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) and NVsEP were performed in all three cases.
Brainstem auditory evoked potentials were within normal limits in all three cases. All three patients showed abnormalities in their NVsEP In the third case, the responses normalized after treatment.
