[Study of vestibular disorders in epileptics by means of electronystagmography and functional visual and vestibular loads].

Twenty-two patients with temporal epilepsy (TE) in the interparoxysmal period were subjected to otoneurological examination. In the majority of cases, there were vestibular disorders of the irritative nature and disturbances of otokinetic nystagmus. The data obtained, along with specification of the localization of the epileptic focus, confirm the involvement of the brain on different levels--cortical-subcortical-truncal--in TE patients with polymorphic seizures.
