Controversy persists on the value of electrooculography (EOG) in the diagnosis of the unbalanced patient. The aim of this study has been to know the utility of EOG in the diagnosis of patients with equilibrium disorders.
We have examined 1000 patients in whom EOG test has been performed for unbalance symptoms. Results have been classified in peripheric or central pattern. Those patients included in the central pattern group have been compared with the results of imaging techniques.
45.7% of EOG performed showed pathological signs, 29.2% were of peripheral characteristics and 16.5% of central ones, of whom 6% showed different pathologies in the imaging test.
EOG in now a days of high value in the diagnosis of unbalanced patient, specially in those cases in which other clinical explorations were normal.
关于眼电图(EOG)在不平衡患者诊断中的价值仍存在争议。本研究的目的是了解EOG在平衡障碍患者诊断中的效用。
我们检查了1000例因不平衡症状进行EOG检查的患者。结果分为外周型或中枢型。将中枢型组的患者与成像技术结果进行了比较。
进行的EOG检查中有45.7%显示病理体征,29.2%为外周特征,16.5%为中枢特征,其中6%在成像检查中显示出不同的病变。
如今,EOG在不平衡患者的诊断中具有很高的价值,特别是在其他临床检查正常的情况下。
