title: Electronystagmographic criteria in neuro-otological diagnosis. 1. Peripheral lesions.
abstract: Direct current electronystagmographic recordings of spontaneous nystagmus, in the light, in darkness, and with eye closure were carried out on 34 patients with peripheral lesions of the vestibular system with a view to determining their specificity. In 60% of patients the responses were characterised by an enhancement of the nystagmus both with eye closure and in darkness. The remainder exhibited no nystagmus under any recording condition.
