title: [Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials].
abstract: The recording of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials is a relatively new neuro-otologic method which gives specific information about the function of the sacculus and the inferior vestibular nerve on each side separately. The main indications for this method are vestibular schwannoma and fistula of the labyrinth, involvement of the sacculus or the inferior vestibular nerve in Menière's disease and vestibular neuritis, vertigo of unknown etiology, and forensic questions.
