[The electronystagmography in neurology (author's transl)].

The electronystagmogram has its place in clinical neurological diagnosis as a recording method for the investigation of nystagmus with different conditions (spontaneous nystagmus, testing of eye-following movements, optokinetic nystagmus and rotational excitability). It must be used in all patients with complaints of dizziness, with clinically demonstrable nystagmus phenomena, in patients being examined for expert opinion after cranial traumata and in searching for vestibular involvement in certain diseases, e.g. vestibular disinhibition or dishabituation in multiple sclerosis.
