After the ENT interview and physical examination, exclusion of pathological lesions in the external acoustic meatus and middle ear, each patient was subjected to a Fitzgerald-Hallpike caloric test during VNG examination, as well as a VHIT test and Dix-Hallpike test, with the evaluation of eyeball reaction during head rotation.\nResults: In the group of patients with mixed-cause vertigo (Group I), the Fitzgerald-Hallpike caloric test showed unilateral labyrinth deficiencies in 90.9% of the patients (with the average value of 41.8%) and relative directional preponderance with the average value of 19.0%, while in 9.1% of the patients, the detected values of labyrinth excitability were normal.\nIn the examination of patients with vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo was diagnosed in 9.1% of cases. This diagnosis was based on the positive response to the Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre and indicative of damage to the posterior semicircular canal in the VHIT test (without signs of deficiency in the VNG examination).\nConclusion: The VHIT test and Dix-Hallpike test enable quick and precise detection of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in out-patient practice and expertise preparation.\n\n\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0012.5421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]],"date-time":"2018-09-26T02:49:32Z","timestamp":1537930172000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparative evaluation of the diagnostic value of the VHIT and Dix-Hallpike test in patients with balance system disorders in out-patient healthcare practice and expertise preparation"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Kefah","family":"Karawani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics II Chair of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marzena","family":"Bielinska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics II Chair of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Nowosielska-Grygiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics II Chair of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Piotr","family":"Pietkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics II Chair of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Kusmierczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics II Chair of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Kolary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics II Chair of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jurek","family":"Olszewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics II Chair of Otolaryngology, Medical University in Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3689","container-title":["Otolaryngologia Polska"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/otolaryngologypl.com\/gicid\/pdf\/01.3001.0012.5421","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/otolaryngologypl.com\/gicid\/pdf\/01.3001.0012.5421","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]],"date-time":"2018-09-26T02:49:34Z","timestamp":1537930174000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/otolaryngologypl.com\/gicid\/01.3001.0012.5421"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5604\/01.3001.0012.5421","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-6657","2300-8423"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-6657","type":"print"},{"value":"2300-8423","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]]}}}
