Video-oculography devices are now used to quantify the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) at the bedside using the head impulse test (HIT). Little is known about the impact of disruptive phenomena (e.g. corrective saccades, nystagmus, fixation losses, eye-blink artifacts) on quantitative VOR assessment in acute vertigo. This study systematically characterized the frequency, nature, and impact of artifacts on HIT VOR measures. From a prospective study of 26 patients with acute vestibular syndrome (16 vestibular neuritis, 10 stroke), we classified findings using a structured coding manual. Of 1,358 individual HIT traces, 72% had abnormal disruptive saccades, 44% had at least one artifact, and 42% were uninterpretable. Physicians using quantitative recording devices to measure head impulse VOR responses for clinical diagnosis should be aware of the potential impact of disruptive eye movements and measurement artifacts. i 2014 S.

Background: We assessed whether detection of stroke underlying acute vertigo using HINTS plus (head-impulse test, nystagmus type, test of skew, hearing loss) can be improved by video-oculography for automated head-impulse test (V-HIT) analysis. Methods: We evaluated patients with acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) presenting to the emergency room using HINTS plus and V-HIT-assisted HINTS plus in a randomized sequence followed by cranial MRI and caloric testing. Image-confirmed posterior circulation stroke or vertebrobasilar TIA were the reference standards to calculate diagnostic accuracy. We repeated statistical analysis for a third protocol that was composed post hoc by replacing the head-impulse test with caloric testing in the HINTS plus protocol. Results: We included 30 AVS patients (ages 55.4 ± 17.2 years, 14 females). Of these, 11 (36.7%) had posterior circulation stroke (n = 4) or TIA (n = 7). Acute V-HIT-assisted HINTS plus was feasible and displayed tendentially higher accuracy than conventional HINTS plus (sensitivity: 81.8%, 95% CI 48.2–97.7%; specificity 31.6%, 95% CI 12.6–56.6% vs. sensitivity 72.7%, 95% CI 39.0–94.0%; specificity 36.8%, 95% CI 16.3–61.6%). The new caloric-supported algorithm showed high accuracy (sensitivity 100%, 95% CI 66.4–100%; specificity 66.7%, 95% CI 41–86.7%). Conclusions: Our study provides pilot data on V-HIT-assisted HINTS plus for acute AVS assessment and indicates the diagnostic value of integrated acute caloric testing.

Abstract Background Although acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) and episodic vestibular syndrome (EVS) are an increasingly recognized cause of acute ischemic stroke, the predilection sites of AVS/EVS caused by acute ischemic stroke still is less known. Methods From Mar 2014 to Mar 2016 period, we used a new approach of 11thedition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) to retrospectively enrolled patients with identified AVS/EVS events caused by acute ischemic stroke in the stroke center of tertiary teaching hospital. The patients who had positive diffusion-weighted images (DWI) lesion and MRA were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the risk of stroke causing AVS/EVS. Results Among 181 AVS/EVS patients with ischemic stroke, 68 (37.6%) patients with acute ischemic stroke were proved by DWI. Of them, the most frequent type was EVS (60.3%); the predilection sites of stroke was in the insular (51.7%, 15/29) in the anterior circulation artery (ACA), followed by the posterior of thalamus (28.6%, 8/28) in the posterior circulation artery (PCA). The lesion on DWI showed a median diameter of 4.0mm (range,0.6-89.4). The risk of AVS/EVS in acute ischemic stroke was found in association with large vessel stenosis/ occlusion (odds ratio[OR],, 0.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.040-0.357), focal neurological symptom /sign (OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.104-0.751), and higher initial ABCD2 score (OR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.239-0.573). Conclusions The predilection site of the AVS/EVS caused by acute ischemic stroke is in the insular. The risk of AVS/EVS was associated with a large vessel stenosis, focal neurological symptoms, and higher initial ABCD2 score.
