Event Details

Course introduction:
An increasing number of conditions that involve vestibular and cerebellar impairment are continuing to be recognized. Specific oculomotor signs which are readily demonstrated in the clinical setting play an important role in the identification of these conditions and may facilitate disease diagnosis.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eseminar the participants will be able to:

  • Be familiar with the more commonly occurring causes of combined vestibular and cerebellar disorders.
  • Be able to perform and interpret the oculomotor abnormalities seen in these diseases.
  • Incorporate these oculomotor signs into the overall assessment of the patient.
  • Be aware of the potential diagnostic pathways that may aid the clinician in reaching a specific diagnosis.
