- Vestibular function can be evaluated using various clinical and laboratory
findings. Among these, head heave and vestibular evoked myogenic potential
(VEMP) represent the otolith-ocular response, which is dynamic rather than static.
There have been no reports of tap-evoked VEMP and head-heave in dizzy
patients. Here, we report dissociation between ocular VEMP to head tap and the
head heave test in acute vestibulopathy.
