Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Conclusions: cVEMPs are affected in patients with IIH and the main finding is the absence of the responses. Increased intracranial pressure causing sound transmission changes within the inner ear can affect the saccular afferents and may end up with absent responses on air-conducted cVEMP recordings. To comment on the correlation between the CSF pressure and cVEMP changes, successive cVEMP recordings with longitudinal CSF pressure monitoring seem necessary.
