摘要:
Vestibular decruitment is a phenomenon characterized by the presence of less intense responses following stronger vestibular stimulations, and its presence has been considered as indicative of central vestibular pathology. In this study conducted in 24 normal individuals, with normal caloric responses, decruitment was observed in 58.3% of the cases. These decruitments were of types I and II as defined by Torok. Type III decruitment was not seen in these patients. In view of the present findings the actual meaning of the phenomenon must be investigated in larger numbers of patients with peripheral or central vestibular disorders.
