title: Infrared/video ENG recording of positional nystagmus in subjects with peripheral vestibular disease.
abstract: We performed simultaneous infrared/video and electronystagmorgraphy (ENG) recordings of eye movements in 417 patients with disequilibrium. Of that number, 54 patients with the following two criteria participated in this study: verified diagnosis of peripheral vestibular disease and the presence of positional nystagmus recorded by ENG and an infrared/ video recording system. Although horizontal nystagmus was the most common, torsional, vertical and oblique nystagmus were also demonstrated in these patients. The most striking finding was the high incidence of oblique nystagmus closely related to a significant right-left difference of the caloric response in benign positional vertigo.
