[Possibilities for the application of the computed videooculographic technique in the clinical practice for the treatment of the patients presenting with vestibular disorders].

The objective of the present study was to carry out clinical examination of the patients presenting with peripheral total cochleovestibular syndrome combined with vertebrobasiliar insufficiency before (in the phase of exacerbation), during, and after the conservative treatment that consisted of a course of traditional drug therapy. A relatively new diagnostic method of computed videooculography was applied. The 316 patients with the aforementioned combined pathology who received conservative pharmacotherapy were available for the dynamic follow-up. It was shown that computed videooculography provides a highly sensitive diagnostic tool detecting even the minimal changes in the responsiveness of the vestibular analyzer. The introduction of the computed videooculographic technique in the program of medical examination makes it possible to considerably increase the accuracy of diagnostics, optimize differential diagnostics and management of the patients suffering from vestibular disorders.
