Remote Camera vHIT: What is it and how does it fit into my pediatric vestibular test battery?

With : Kristen Janky

Children with hearing loss are at increased risk of vestibular dysfunction, with potential consequences that can be mitigated when identified early. As interest in pediatric vestibular assessment continues to grow, clinicians require reliable tools that support evaluation in infants and young children.

This webinar provides an in-depth review of remote camera vHIT and its role within a comprehensive pediatric vestibular test battery. Key topics include the effects of vestibular loss in children, the importance of early assessment, and practical guidance on administering and interpreting remote camera vHIT. Real clinical case studies will illustrate how this technology can be integrated into everyday practice.

Récupération de la névrite vestibulaire : compensation ou guérison

With : Enrico Armato
Inventis Academia webinar

La névrite vestibulaire (NV) peut induire un syndrome vestibulaire aigu (SVA) unilatéral. Cette étude a visé à identifier les facteurs prédictifs de récupération de la névrite vestibulaire en considérant la restitution totale ou guérison et/ou la compensation. 

40 patients ont été inclus dans cette étude longitudinale. L'évaluation initiale a été réalisée dans les 36 à 72 heures suivant le début de la NV (T0), l'anamnèse (générale et spécifique) recherchant en particulier des facteurs de risque cardiovasculaire (FRCV), et comportant une batterie de tests vestibulaires diagnostiques composée de tests caloriques bithermique (BCT), du test d'impulsion de la tête par vidéo (VHIT) et du test vibratoire osseux vestibulaire (SVIN) de Dumas. Tous les patients ont également complété un inventaire du handicap dû aux vertiges (DHI). Toutes les évaluations ont été répétées 90÷15 jours plus tard (T3). Les critères de compensation subjectifs étaient fondés sur le score total du DHI et les critères de compensation objectifs étaient fondés sur les résultats des tests de laboratoire. Quatre groupes de patients (A, B, C, D) ont été définis : patients avec tests vestibulaires et DHI normaux (A), avec tests vestibulaires normaux et DHI anormal (B), avec tests vestibulaires et DHI anormaux (C) et avec tests vestibulaires anormaux et DHI normal (D). 

Les FRCV (mais pas l'âge ou l'indice de masse corporelle) étaient associés à une récupération moindre des symptômes. A T3, la récupération de valeurs normales a été de 20 % pour le BCT (parésie du canal semicirculaire latéral), de 20 % pour le VHIT (gain du canal semi-circulaire latéral) et de 27 % pour le SVINT (vitesse de phase lente du nystagmus). 

Les facteurs de risque vasculaire (hypercholestérolémie) sont corrélés aux patients ne récupérant pas leurs symptômes via une restitution totale ou une compensation. Aucune différence significative n'a été observée entre les tests vestibulaires à haute et à basse fréquence chez les patients guéris de leurs symptômes. Certains patients ayant guéri objectivement peuvent continuer à présenter des symptômes subjectifs.
