Résumé

To understand the videonystagmography (VNG) findings in various balance disorders in 67 patients who presented to the outpatient department of an otorhinolaryngology clinic. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient department of the otorhinolaryngology clinic of a tertiary care center. A total of 67 patients between the age group of 18 and 70 years with balance disorders were included in the study. VNG findings in different balance disorders were observed and analyzed. A total of 67 patients were enrolled in the study. Findings like caloric inversion and optokinetic nystagmus do not always indicate a central balance disorder due to technical errors and other limitations during the test. However, abnormal saccades seem to be a more relevant finding in central disorders. Rare variants of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) like multiple canal BPPV were also diagnosed using VNG. VNG has come out as a very useful test in our study aiding in 75% of diagnoses. The overall benefits of VNG in balance disorders are immense and necessitate their inclusion in every vertigo clinic.
