Abstract
Vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) recording is a new tool for exploring the pathways from the sacculus, inferior vestibular nerve, and vestibular nucleus to sternocleidomastoid muscles (SCMs) in pediatric otology and neurotology. c-VEMP (saccular origin) and o-VEMP (utriculus origin) are clinically applied for a different diagnosis. After cochlear implantion, c-VEMPs are possible to record because of an electrical current spread from cochlear nerve which stimulates the inferior vestibular nerve.
