Abstrakt: Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of asymmetry values, gain, and pathological saccades of the video head impulse test (vHIT) in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).
Study Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Patients: A total of 226 individuals diagnosed with unilateral definite SSNHL were hospitalized. The assessment included a comprehensive evaluation of medical history, pure-tone test, acoustic impedance, positional test, video nystagmography (VNG), vHIT, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and magnetic resonance.
Interventions: vHIT, VNG, cVEMP, oVEMP. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 22.0 for Windows.
Main Outcome Measures: The asymmetry values, gain, and pathological saccades of the vHIT.
Results: The abnormal gain of vHIT in anterior, horizontal, and posterior canal in SSNHL patients with vertigo were revealed in 20 of 112 (17.9%), 24 of 112 (21.4%), and 60 of 112 (53.6%), respectively. The vHIT pathological saccades (overt + covert) of anterior, horizontal, and posterior canal in SSNHL patients with vertigo were observed in 5 of 112 (4.6%), 52 of 112 (46.4%), and 58 of 112 (51.8%), respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that the prognosis of patients with vertigo was correlated with vHIT gain of posterior canal, pathological saccade in horizontal canal, asymmetric ratio of horizontal canal gain, asymmetric ratio of posterior canal gain, Canal paresis (%) on caloric test and spontaneous nystagmus.
Conclusion: In the vHIT of patients with SSNHL with vertigo, the posterior canal is most easily affected. Reduced gain of posterior canal, pathological saccade of horizontal canal, and larger asymmetric gain of posterior canal and horizontal canal may be negative prognostic factors.
