Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty Of Medicine - Department Of Neuro physiology Summary: We found that the absolute values of the amplitude of the VEMPs response cannot be considered a reliable parameter for detecting abnormalities however the latencies of the P13 and N23 waves are more stable and best suited to reflect vestibulo - spinal system pathways integrityVEMPs were abnormal in 56 of Patients , VEP in 56 , BAEPs in 44 , SSEPs in 28 and MRI in 80We also found that although MRI showed better sensitivity in detecting brain stem plaques yet 100of patients with normal MRI had abnormal VEMPs and that BAEPs and VEMPs have nearly equal sensitivity in detecting BSplaques in symptomatizing group , however VEMPs were more sensitive than BAEPs in non symptomatizing groupAlso we found no significant correlation between VEMPs and MRI or BAEPsFrom the above mentioned findings we can see that VEMPs can be considered a complementary tool for assessing BSfunction in MS patientsConclusion : VEMPs is a simple , non - invasive , safe and quick method , which should be considered as a complementary neurophysiological tool for evaluation of possible brain stem dysfunction
