Table 2. Mean (±SD) latencies of cVEMP induced by STB and clicks (P13 and N23) and of oVEMPs induced by AC STB and BCV (AFz and mastoid; n1 and p1), in healthy subjects, 63 patients with non-operated VS (affected and intact side) and 20 patients after surgery for VS (intact side).
VEMP tests | Stimulation | Healthy subjects | Non-operated VS affected side | Non-operated VS intact side | Operated VS intact side |
cVEMP latencies (ms) | AC STB P13 | 14.8±1.0 | 14.7±1.4 n = 29 | 14.8±1.3 n = 60 | 14.6±0.9 |
AC STB N23 | 21.6±1.3 | 21.5±2.3 | 21.9±1.8 | 21.2±1.2 | |
AC clicks P13 | 11.9±1.1 | 12.7±1.9 n = 12 | 12.1±1.7 n = 41 | 12.1±1.2 | |
AC clicks N23 | 18.3±1.6 | 18.7±3.1 | 18.1±2.1 | 18.2±1.2 | |
oVEMP latencies (ms) | AC STB n1 | 11.2±0.8 | 11.3±0.7 n = 12 | 11.2±0.7 n = 37 | 11.6±0.6 |
AC STB p1 | 15.3±1.0 | 14.9±1.5 | 15.1±1.2 | 16.2±1.3 | |
AFz BCV n1 | 11.2±0.8 | 11.4±0.8 n = 17 | 11.2±0.8 n = 50 | 11.1±0.7 | |
AFz BCV p1 | 15.2±1.1 | 14.8±1.7 | 14.9±0.9 | 15.0±0.8 | |
Mastoid BCV n1 | 10.9±0.7 | 11.5±1.4 n = 25 | 11.15±1.3 n = 60 | 10.8±0.5 | |
Mastoid BCV p1 | 15.3±1.0 | 15.5±2.4 | 15.3±1.7 | 14.6±0.6 |
Note that no significant differences were detected in the latencies of P13, N23 and n1-p1 between healthy subjects and VS patients.
