Although nystagmus is often described by the direction of its quick phases, it is the slow phase that reflects the underlying disorder. The aim of our study was to describe a new radiological diagnostic sign called \u201cVestibular Eye Sign\u201d\u2014VES. This sign is defined as an eye deviation that correlates with the slow phase of nystagmus (vestibule pathological side), which is seen in acute vestibular neuronitis and can be assessed on a CT head scan.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 1250 patients were diagnosed with vertigo in the Emergency Department at Ziv Medical Center (ED) in Safed, Israel. The data of 315 patients who arrived at the ED between January 2010 and January 2022 were collected, with criteria eligible for the study. Patients were divided into 4 groups: Group A, \u201cpure VN\u201d, Group B, \u201cnon-VN aetiology\u201d, Group C, BPPV patients, and Group D, patients who had a diagnosis of vertigo with unknown aetiology. All groups underwent head CT examination while in the ED.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In Group 1, pure vestibular neuritis was diagnosed in 70 (22.2%) patients. Regarding accuracy, VES (Vestibular Eye Sign) was found in 65 patients in group 1 and 8 patients in group 2 and had a sensitivity of 89%, specificity of 75% and a negative predictive value of 99.4% in group 1\u2014pure vestibular neuronitis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>VN is still a clinical diagnosis, but if the patient undergoes head CT, we suggest using the \u201cVestibular Eye Sign\u201d as a complementary sign. As per our findings, this is a valuable sign on CT imaging for diagnosing the pathological side of isolated pure VN. It is sensitive to support a diagnosis with a high negative predictive value.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-023-11771-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,23]],"date-time":"2023-05-23T10:02:14Z","timestamp":1684836134000},"page":"4360-4367","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The \u201cVestibular Eye Sign\u201d\u2014\u201cVES\u201d: a new radiological sign of vestibular neuronitis can help to determine the affected vestibule and support the diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"270","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4250-6494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raed","family":"Farhat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anan Abu","family":"Awad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Waleed Abu","family":"Shaheen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diaa","family":"Alwily","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4367-9776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaniv","family":"Avraham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Razi","family":"Najjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0442-835X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shlomo","family":"Merchavy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saqr","family":"Massoud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,23]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2\u20133","key":"11771_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.3233\/ves-190658","volume":"29","author":"S Eggers","year":"2019","unstructured":"Eggers S, Bisdorff A, von Brevern M, Zee D, Kim J, Perez-Fernandez N et al (2019) Classification of vestibular signs and examination techniques: nystagmus and nystagmus-like movements.
