151 Acute Vestibular Syndrome With Skew Deviation and Positive Head Impulse Test Due to a Demyelinating LesionThis is a patient who initially presented with the acute vestibular syndrome (AVS, e.g., acute prolonged vertigo, spontaneous nystagmus). ; See https://collections.lib.utah.edu/details?id=187730 for additional history. ; Her HINTS (Head Impulse, Nystagmus, Test of Skew) testing indicated a central e...Image/MovingImage
152 Central Acute Vestibular Syndrome Due to Posterior Fossa HemorrhageThis is a patient presenting with the acute vestibular syndrome (AVS, e.g., acute prolonged vertigo, spontaneous nystagmus) whose HINTS (Head Impulse, Nystagmus, Test of Skew) testing indicated a central etiology based on negative (normal) head impulse testing (HIT). Nystagmus was unidirectional and...Image/MovingImage
153 Caloric Testing𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Caloric testing is a peripheral vestibular test which takes advantage of the fact that the labyrinth is sensitive to temperature changes. Warm stimulation causes excitation of the semicircular canals while cold stimulatio...Image/MovingImage
154 Anterior Canal - BPPV: Deep Head Hanging𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Regardless or whether it is thought that the patient has right or left anterior canal (AC) involvement, the deep head hanging maneuver is performed in the same way. • First the patient is placed in the long-sitting posi...Image/MovingImage
155 Horizontal Canal - BPPV: BBQ Roll to Treat the Right Side𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: To treat right horizontal canal (HC)-BPPV (each position maintained for at least 30 seconds or until nystagmus and/or vertigo cease): • First the patient is placed in the long-sitting position • Then in a supine posit...Image/MovingImage
156 Horizontal Canal - BPPV: Gufoni for Right Apogeotropic𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: To treat the right apogeotropic (beating towards the sky with right ear down and with left ear down - e.g., left beating nystagmus with right supine roll test or with right ear down; right beating nystagmus with left supi...Image/MovingImage

158 Posterior Canal - BPPV: Epley and Semont Maneuvers𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Epley/canalith repositioning maneuver (CRP) To treat right posterior canal (PC)-BPPV (each position maintained for at least 30 seconds or until nystagmus and/or vertigo cease): • First the patient is placed in the long-...Image/MovingImage
159 HINTS 'Plus' Patterns in the Acute Vestibular Syndrome Based on LocationHINTS ‘Plus' patterns in the acute vestibular syndrome based on locationText
160 Demonstration of HINTS Examination in a Normal SubjectIn the acute vestibular syndrome - consisting of acute prolonged vertigo, spontaneous nystagmus, imbalance, nausea/vomiting, head motion intolerance which is typically due to vestibular neuritis or posterior fossa stroke - a 3 step test of ocular motor and vestibular function known as HINTS, has hig...Image/MovingImage
161 Active Head Impulse TestActive head impulse test (HIT): instruct the patient to fix their eyes on the camera and turn their head 20o to the right/left, and then make a rapid movement toward the midline to align their head with the camera again, keeping their eyes fixed on the camera throughout. A simple instruction is to a...Image/MovingImage
162 Bilateral riMLF Syndrome Causing Vertical Saccadic Palsy and Loss of Ipsitorsional Fast PhasesThis is a 60-year-old man who developed fatigue and diabetes insipidus about 12 months prior to this video, and MRI demonstrated hypothalamic enhancement at that time. Nine months prior to this video, he gradually noticed that he was unable to look down. Work-up for ischemic, infectious, inflammator...Image/MovingImage
163 ConvergenceConvergence: instruct the patient to focus on their thumb held at arm's length, and slowly move their thumb towards their nose. This may bring out or cause reversal of vertical nystagmus (e.g., transition from upbeat to downbeat nystagmus in Wernicke's encephalopathy [see example of transition from ...Image/MovingImage
164 Dix-HallpikeThe safety of the patient should be prioritized when completing this test virtually, and the examiner should avoid putting the patient in a position where a fall may occur. Floor (or bed) Dix-Hallpike: this test can be used for patients who are fully mobile and able to get down to the floor and up a...Image/MovingImage
165 Dynamic Visual AcuityDynamic Visual Acuity: the examiner can use screen-sharing to provide a visual acuity chart. Instruct the patient to sit at the appropriate distance from their screen at which the lowest line on the visual acuity chart is just readable. Have the patient move their head (horizontally to evaluate the ...Image/MovingImage
166 Eye Handbook App for OKNOptokinetic nystagmus (OKN): one way this can be examined virtually is using a smartphone application (e.g. Eye Handbook © app used in this video) or optokinetic tape/flag/drum held in front of the examiner's camera. The optokinetic stimulus should occupy the full screen of the patient's device (ea...Image/MovingImage
167 Fixation and Gaze HoldingFixation and gaze-holding: assess for nystagmus or saccadic intrusions by observing the eyes in primary position. Then instruct the patient to look in each position of gaze, and to hold that position to assess for gaze-evoked nystagmus. In doing so, motility can also be evaluated with both eyes view...Image/MovingImage
168 How to Measure Ocular Alignment VirtuallyOcular alignment: the alternate cover test can be performed by instructing the patient to hold their head steady, fix their eyes on the camera (or a more distant target - the closer the fixation target, the more of an exodeviation the examiner will see), and use their cell phone (or a spoon) to occl...Image/MovingImage
169 HyperventilationHyperventilation: instruct the patient to breathe rapidly in and out of their mouth for 40-60 seconds. Alkalosis and changes in ionized calcium may improve conduction through an affected segment of 8th cranial nerve due to vestibular schwannoma (https://collections.lib.utah.edu/details?id=1213447) o...Image/MovingImage
170 Modified (Chair) Dix-HallpikeThe safety of the patient should be prioritized when completing this test virtually, and the examiner should avoid putting the patient in a position where a fall may occur. Modified (chair) Dix-Hallpike:(1) this test can be used for patients who may not be able to safely undertake the traditional Di...Image/MovingImage
171 Penlight Cover Test (Partial Removal of Fixation)Penlight cover test (partial removal of fixation): during in-person clinical encounters, the maneuvers below are best tested with complete (or near complete) removal of fixation (e.g., Frenzel or video Frenzel goggles). Removal of fixation is more challenging during virtual evaluations but can be ap...Image/MovingImage
172 Pinched Nose ValsalvaValsalva (closed glottis or pinched nose): instruct the patient to take a deep breath and ‘bear down' (closed glottis) or take a deep breath and ‘try to pop their ears' (pinched nose). Assess for nystagmus. In superior canal dehiscence, pressure changes may be transmitted to the superior canal, ...Image/MovingImage
173 Range of Motion (Ductions)Range of motion (ductions): check the range of each individual eye (ductions) if there is diplopia or if a motility deficit is suspected. Instructing the patient to hold their head 20o to the right or to the left may provide a better view of the range of horizontal gaze, if there is diplopia or if a...Image/MovingImage
174 SaccadesSaccades: instruct the patient to make rapid movements of their eyes in each gaze direction, noting the speed, conjugacy, latency, and accuracy. First have the patient look between an eccentric target and the camera horizontally and vertically, making assessment of accuracy easier - e.g., overshooti...Image/MovingImage
175 Smooth PursuitSmooth pursuit: instruct the patient to hold their head steady, fix their eyes on the camera and slowly move the camera in the horizontal and vertical planes. Or, have the patient focus on their outstretched thumbnail (or other small fixation target), while following the slowly moving object horizon...Image/MovingImage
