[The relationship between ECochG and glycerol test in vertigo patients (report of 112 cases)].
OBJECTIVE
For further investigating the diagnostic value of the ECochG in Meniere's disease.


METHODS
112 vertigo patients including Meniere's disease, sudden deafness, cervical vertigo and other vertigo disease, had been done ECochG, glycerol test, audiometry and caloric test. The results were compared with those of normal group.


RESULTS
In Meniere's disease, the positive rate of abnormal-SP/AP in ECochG was 54.69% and the positive rate of glycerol test was 53.12%. There are no statistics difference (P > 0.05) between this two tests with X analysis.


CONCLUSIONS
We think that the glycerol test and other relative examination are necessary for the diagnosis of Meniere's disease while the-SP/AP > 0.4 ms in the examination of ECochG.
