Normal vestibular responses to air caloric tests in children. 1981

J Andrieu-Guitrancourt, and J M Peron, and D Dehesdin, and J Aubet, and P Courtin

One hundred and forty normal children, divided into four age-groups (2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-10 years old) have been submitted to a vestibular examination by caloric tests with air, and the responses were recorded. This technique is sure and easily reproducible. Frequency of nystagmus, and maximum eye speed in slow phase of nystagmus (M.E.S.) were examined during 30 sec after caloric stimulation. Frequency of nystagmus increases, and M.E.S. decreases as the children become older. A significant difference between the 2-3 and 4-5 year old groups is also noticed. Normal variations are fixed for each age group. A quantitative relation between frequency, M.E.S. and height is established.

D002150 Caloric Tests Elicitation of a rotatory nystagmus by stimulating the semicircular canals with water or air which is above or below body temperature. In warm caloric stimulation a rotatory nystagmus is developed toward the side of the stimulated ear; in cold, away from the stimulated side. Absence of nystagmus indicates the labyrinth is not functioning. Barany Test,Barany's Test,Baranys Test,Caloric Test,Test, Barany,Test, Barany's,Test, Caloric,Tests, Caloric

It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
