Central vestibular signs, posterior fossa pathology and computerized tomography-regional blood brain circulation.
Central vestibular signs are sensitive indicators of lesions in the posterior fossa. With the availability of computerized tomography and computerized tomography-regional blood brain circulation, the identification of suspected retrolabyrinthine lesions has improved considerably. This is a report about the reliability of central vestibular signs in predicting posterior fossa lesions.
