The recording of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials is a relatively new neuro-otologic method which gives specific information about the function of the sacculus and the inferior vestibular nerve on each side separately. The main indications for this method are vestibular schwannoma and fistula of the labyrinth, involvement of the sacculus or the inferior vestibular nerve in Menière's disease and vestibular neuritis, vertigo of unknown etiology, and forensic questions.

D009464	Neuroma, Acoustic	A benign SCHWANNOMA of the eighth cranial nerve (VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE), mostly arising from the vestibular branch (VESTIBULAR NERVE) during the fifth or sixth decade of life. Clinical manifestations include HEARING LOSS; HEADACHE; VERTIGO; TINNITUS; and FACIAL PAIN. Bilateral acoustic neuromas are associated with NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 2.

D011237	Predictive Value of Tests	In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
