26 Assessing for Hyperventilation-induced Nystagmus𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Hyperventilation induced nystagmus is tested by asking the patient to take quick deep breaths (~1/s) for 40-60 seconds. This decreases ICP and increases CSF pH. This can be helpful in diagnosing irritative conditions of ...Image/MovingImage

37 Bilateral Vestibular Loss With Gaze-Evoked Nystagmus and Saccadic Visually Enhanced VORThis is 55-year-old man with the subacute onset of head movement-induced oscillopsia and dizziness. He had a history of psoriatic arthritis. He had not used medications known to be vestibulo-toxic such as gentamicin. ; Salient findings on his examination included 1) bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) d...Image/MovingImage
38 Bilaterally Abnormal Head Impulse Test𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This video is an example of bilaterally abnormal head impulse test (HIT) due to bilateral vestibular loss (BVL). Typical symptoms in BVL: head movement-induced dizziness and jumping vision for years with visual jumping/b...Image/MovingImage
39 Bow and Lean Test (Video)The Bow and Lean Test is used to identify the affected side and is designed to be used in conjunction with or after the Supine Roll Test. Within this test a null point may exist where the nystagmus will extinguish because the cupula is in a gravity neutral position. As this test involves the patient...Image/MovingImage
40 Brandt-Daroff Exercises (Video)Brandt-Daroff exercises are less effective than the Epley and the Semont maneuvers and are not shown to prevent recurrence [1-3]. Brandt-Daroff exercises may still be beneficial for habituation exercises and to reduce phobic responses to lying supine or side-lying after the resolution of BPPV. This ...Image/MovingImage
41 Bruns Nystagmus (During Video-Oculography) Due to Vestibular SchwannomaA 25-year-old man with a history of right-sided hearing loss, headaches and imbalance was found to have a right vestibular schwannoma on MRI, and underwent a partial resection and radiotherapy.
