Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials

The role of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in multiple sclerosis-related vertigo. A systematic review of the literature

Background: Vertigo is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS) that can be caused by a central or peripheral involvement of the vestibular pathways. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is commonly used to evaluate progression of MS but is not sensitive enough to detect small lesions. Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are commonly used to evaluate function of vestibular-cochlear pathways.
