Abstract/Text To characterize clinical features of those patients who showed an absence of vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) responses in the presence of normal caloric responses bilaterally, we reviewed clinical records of 1,887 consecutive outpatients who complained of balance problems, and identified three patients, who showed absent VEMPs in the presence of normal caloric responses bilaterally with unknown causes. All three patients had episodes of recurrent vertigo without spontaneous, gaze-evoked, or positional nystagmus at the time of examination. They complained of oscillopsia while moving their body or head and showed positive Romberg's signs. Drawing on these cases, we underscore the importance of examining the function of the inferior vestibular nerve system, even with no nystagmus and normal caloric findings, in patients complaining of dizziness or oscillopsia during locomotion.
