INTRODUCTION: Recently, end-point nystagmus, traditionally observed in an upright position, has been identified in the Dix-Hallpike position among healthy subjects, suggesting a physiological origin.However, its characteristics in individuals with vestibular hypofunction remain unexplored.
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the impact of vestibular hypofunction on the characteristics of positional end-point nystagmus.
METHODS: Thirty-one patients diagnosed with acute unilateral vestibulopathy according to Bárány Society criteria were selected. A video head impulse test was conducted in all participants, followed by McClure and Dix-Hallpike maneuvers with and without gaze fixation, and with the initial position of the eye in the straight-ahead position or in the horizontal end-point position. Nystagmus direction, sense, latency, slow-phase velocity, and duration were recorded. The relationship between these characteristics and video head impulse test values was analyzed.
RESULTS: Positional end-point nystagmus was observed in 92.6% of subjects with vestibular hypofunction, significantly more than in healthy individuals. Nystagmus direction varied depending on the performed positional test and on the vestibulo-ocular reflex gains. Gaze occlusion and the initial horizontal end-point position increased its frequency.
CONCLUSION: Vestibular hypofunction influences the manifestation of positional end-point nystagmus. Recognizing this nystagmus can aid in resolving diagnostic uncertainties and preventing the misdiagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in subjects with acute unilateral vestibulopathy.
