Analysis of semicircular canal function as evaluated by video Head Impulse Test in patients with vestibular schwannoma.

CONCLUSIONS: From the results of the relationship between hearing loss and VOR gain, the damage to the audio and vestibular systems in patients with VS may be correlated. As it has been suggested that tumor size was not a significant factor in the VOR gain evaluated by vHIT, multifactorial causes rather than the simple compression of the vestibular nerves alone may be related to the dysfunction of the semicircular canals in patients with vestibular schwannoma.
