Vestibuler myogenic potential in multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease. The etiology is not known however genetic predisposition is thought to play a role of environmental factors in the ground. Disease is relapsing and remitting course. Lesions were found by region in MSS give various symptoms and findings. The most common motor, sensory, visual, mental symptoms, and sphincter abnormalities are seen.This study at Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center Neurology Clinic, according to McDonald criteria were diagnosed with definite MS and 20 healthy subjects consisted of 20 MS patients in the control group were prospectively. MS patients, with VEMP examination VEP, SEP, BAEP examination, the brain and spinal cord can be made to display the correlation between MRI were evaluated. The measurement results obtained with VEMP study were diagnosed with MS patients and control groups were compared. Contribution to the evaluation of diagnosis and was aimed to investigate the correlation between. İn MS group, VEMP latency was longer than the control group values were determined. Brainstem signs and symptoms of patients with significant correlation between VEMP pathology. Brainstem auditory potentials compared with MS patients VEMP latency prolongation is statistically significant can be detected VEMP considerable scrutiny, and that additional diagnostic studies as a sensitive brainstem involvement, and originally had been doneVEMP examination routine still in use VEP, SEP, BAEP electrophysiological studies such as and MRI tests, alone or together to help the MS diagnosis is easy, noninvasive, clear, reliable information which can be used as examination methods.
