Abstract
Balance disorders may occur in a multitude of ENT-related diseases, thus making a correct diagnosis is challenging. In the last few decades, there has been a paradigm shift in the diagnostics of balance disorders due to the availability of better objective modalities that allow the assessment of different components of the complex vestibular labyrinth with relative ease. With the advent of vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) since the last few decades, it is possible to test otolith organs in isolation and objectively. This chapter will discuss the procedure, physiological basis, and effectiveness of cervical VEMP in the evaluation of saccular function in patients suffering from balance disorders.
