title: [Vestibular disorders in Parkinson patients].
abstract: Patients suffering from Parkinson's disease frequently complain of dizziness, postural instability and falls. Vestibular tests have been performed in 30 parkinsonian patients and in 28 controls. The results suggest a central vestibular disturbance in Parkinson's disease which correlates with the clinical disability. This vestibular disturbance is assumed to be due to dysfunction of the nigro-striato-collicular tracts.
