Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bedside evaluation of the patient with Acute Vestibular Syndrome, from ocular to vestibulospinal signs. This is now a hot topic in Neurotology since there is new more evidence about the use of simpler, faster, and easy-to-evaluate signs in this context. In the last two years our group, together with many international colleagues (UK, Israel, Italy, Portugal, and Spain) has been publishing contributions in the topic and we believe is time for a comprehensive special issue.
The scope of this volume is to provide information about the usefulness of the vestibulospinal pathway in patients with vertigo and imbalance. Exploring the vestibulospinal pathway is mandatory in any patient with vertigo and imbalance and in any neurological patient. Anatomical and physiological information is mandatory. Analyzing the historical evolution of the signs is important to provide a common terminology among colleagues. The estibulospinal pathway is easy to explore, in our experience the interpretation of the signs is simpler in comparison with the oculomotor system and the bias between different observers is less. In the context of Acute Vestibular Syndrome, the exploration of the gait and static vestibulospinal signs has proven to be very sensitive. This issue will a unique source of information on this topic in the present literature.
