Lesion localization in Vestibular medicine: Now possible! [Isolated functional loss of the lateral semicircular canal in vestibular neuritis]. Blödow A, Helbig R, Bloching M, Walther LE. HNO-Klinik, Helios-Klinikum Berlin-Buch, Schwanebecker Chaussee 50, 13125, Berlin, Deutschland. [email protected] Abstract Today, modern tools in vestibular testing are feasible to provide information about functional status of all five peripheral vestibular receptors. Isolated or combined loss of crista and macula receptor function can be determined in the diagnostic process. We describe a seldom case of isolated functional loss of lateral semicircular canal receptor function in a 55-year-old patient. Whereas there was no ispilateral caloric response and video head impulse test revealed a catch-up saccade, air-conducted (AC) cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP, oVEMP), subjective visual vertical and MRI were normal.
