Objectives Suppression head impulse paradigm (SHIMP) in video head impulse test is now newly used to test vestibular function. The aim of this study was to analyze normative values of SHIMP for healthy Korean subjects in each decade of life.
Methods SHIMP and HIMP responses were measured with the video head impulse test in 70 healthy subjects. Vestibulo-ocular reflex gain and anticompensatory saccade were analyzed and compared at each decade of life.
Results All subjects produced anticompensatory saccades in SHIMP. Gain values did not vary significantly with age. Gain values in SHIMP were lower than gain values in HIMP. The gain values of rightward impulse were higher than the gain values of leftward impulse.
Conclusions Gain values and anticompensatory saccades in SHIMP were consistently equal in each decade of life. Normative values of SHIMP seems largely unaffected by aging.

The anterior cerebellar vermis has been known to act in coordination of gait and postural adjustment of the trunk and legs. However, oculomotor abnormalities in an isolated anterior vermian lesion have not been described in the literature. A 59-year-old man presented with acute non-rotatory dizziness and disequilibrium. Neuro-ophthalmologic examination found impaired smooth pursuit and hypometric saccades in the contralesional direction, and disconjugate ipsiversive ocular torsion, but without spontaneous or gaze-evoked nystagmus. Imaging study showed an infarction restricted to the rostral end of right cerebellar vermis involving the lingual and central lobules. The anterior cerebellar vermis participates in the maintenance of axial posture and gait, and also in the control of ocular motor and vestibular systems.
