Tell me about vestibular disease…
Vestibular disease can be peripheral or central, and central vestibular disease can be classic in appearance or paradoxical. Peripheral vestibular disease is due to a lesion in the inner ear or vestibular portion of cranial nerve VIII. Classic central vestibular disease is due to a lesion in the brainstem or cerebellum. Signs with peripheral and classic central vestibular disease include head tilt, falling, and circling to the same side as the lesion with nystagmus with fast phase to the opposite side.
With paradoxical vestibular disease, the lesion is in certain regions of the cerebellum (flocculonodular lobe) or caudal cerebellar peduncle and produces signs to the opposite sides from which is seen with peripheral and classic central disease.
A horse presents with vestibular signs. Which of the following findings allows the clinician to differentiate between central vestibular and peripheral vestibular disease?
The correct answer is proprioceptive deficits. Observation of proprioceptive deficits helps localize the lesion centrally. In addition to proprioceptive deficits, any animal with multiple cranial nerve signs along with other vestibular signs is considered to have central vestibular disease. Nystagmus, circling, ataxia, and head tilt is seen in both central and peripheral vestibular disease.
The fast phase of nystagmus goes _____ the lesion
The fast phase of nystagmus tends to go away from the lesion. The direction of nystagmus is named after the fast phase.
