title: [The differential diagnosis of peripheral and central vestibulopathies by the characteristics of eye movements].
abstract: The article addresses the development and approbation of operative and low cost computer methods of the differential diagnosis of peripheral and central vestibulopathies using the integrated hard-and software system "Okulostim-KM". Two groups of patients with central (CV) and peripheral vestibulopathy (PV) were tested. A total number of characteristics of eye movements in response to vestibular (active head rotations in different planes) and visual (spasmodic and smooth movements of a point target on the screen in the absence and during the retinal optokinetic stimulation) stimuli were used. Eye movements were recorded using electrooculography. A set of diagnostic criteria for each group of vestibulopathies allowed to specify disease type at a subclinical stage in 88,9% of patients with CV and in 95,8% of patients with PV. The use of the computer tests may be helpful in a timely diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders.
