PURPOSE: Body balance involves the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems. IGF-I is a GH-dependent key factor in the development and postnatal differentiation of the inner ear in mice and men, but its role in the vestibular function in adult humans is unknown. We have previously described a cohort of individuals with severe isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) caused by a mutation in the GHRH receptor (GHRHR) gene. These individuals complain of dizziness, exhibit mild sensorineural loss, but have normal postural balance, without increase in falls risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate their vestibular function.
METHODS: We performed physical examination (clinical head impulse and Fukuda dynamic stepping test), oculomotor (saccadic eye movements, spontaneous, semi-spontaneous and opotokinetic nystagmus, and pendular tracking) and caloric stimulation (postcaloric reflex and ocular fixation index) tests, in 15 GH-naïve IGHD (seven males) and 15 controls (five males).
RESULTS: IGHD subjects showed lower height and weight, with similar BMI to controls, and higher number of individuals with abnormal clinical head impulse test and abnormal oculomotor tests, namely the saccadic movements and the spontaneous nystagmus. There was a nonsignificant trend in abnormalities in the Fukuda stepping test and postcaloric reflex test.
CONCLUSIONS: Adult untreated IGHD individuals have higher prevalence of moderate peripheral vestibular impairment, and of abnormal vestibular-ocular reflex.
