Abstract

Direct current electronystagmographic recordings of spontaneous nystagmus, in the light, in darkness, and with eye closure were carried out on 34 patients with peripheral lesions of the vestibular system with a view to determining their specificity. In 60% of patients the responses were characterised by an enhancement of the nystagmus both with eye closure and in darkness. The remainder exhibited no nystagmus under any recording condition.
