The caloric–vHIT dissociation: a deeper look into the problem

The dissociation between caloric testing and the video head impulse test (vHIT represents a well-recognized but often underutilized phenomenon in clinical vestibulology.
Although both tests assess horizontal semicircular canal function, they probe the vestibulo-ocular reflex under profoundly different stimulation paradigms, allowing selective dysfunction to emerge.
A classical paradigm, reinterpreted through a modern clinical framework.

Scientific focus of the webinar:

  • Physiological mechanisms underlying caloric–vHIT dissociation
  • Frequency-domain selectivity in vestibular dysfunction
  • Reduced caloric responses with preserved vHIT gain in Ménière’s disease
  • Central sensory modulation patterns in vestibular migraine
  • Diagnostic and phenotypic value in early-stage and borderline cases
  • Integrated interpretation for refined clinical stratification
  • Implications for future personalized approaches in vestibular medicine

This seminar will provide a clinically rigorous and physiologically grounded framework for interpreting classical vestibular tests within a modern diagnostic paradigm
