[Clinical evaluation of the sinusoidal caloric test].
The aim of this work was the results comparison in Proctor-Dix and Fitzgerald-Hallpike tests. The examinations were performed in 22 normal and in 34 patients with vestibular syndromes. In ENG recordings the symetricity was evaluated as well as the feeling of dizziness and vegetative symptoms. The pendular trial was made during the caloric nystagmus in two above mentioned methods. The sinusoidal Proctor-Dix test was more sensible than classic test and easy for patients. In some instances the cold excitation fails to provoke the reaction in sinusoidal test in spite of reaction in classic test. The pendular trial in Proctor-Dix test is difficult to obtain.
