Sažetak
The aim of this study was to evaluate latencies and corrected p13-n23 cVEMP and n10-p13 oVEMP amplitudes in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). In MS group there was significant latencies prolongation of all sternocleidomastoid responses (P13 and N23) and N 10 response of the ocular muscles. The sternocleidomastoid P13-N23 normalized amplitude was significantly higher in MS patients. Prolonged latencies were found in 57% and conduction block in 7% of patients in at least one sternocleiodomastoid response in the MS group. Prolonged latencies were found in 30% and conduction block in 40% of patients in at least one ocular response in the MS group. When cVEMP and oVEMP are combined 80% had pathological finding. When correlating brainstem clinical, brainstem MRI and cVEMP findings there was no statistical significance (brainstem clinical vs cVEMP p=0.1 ; brainstem MRI vs cVEMP p=0.82). When correlating brainstem clinical, brainstem MRI and oVEMP findings there was a statistical significant correlation between brainstem clinical vs oVEMP p=0.02, while there was no statistical significance between brainstem MRI vs oVEMP (p=0.38). Combination of cVEMP and oVEMP in MS patients allows better estimation of brainstem lesions.
