ABSTRACT
Abstract Cognitive deficits mainly involving visuospatial functions have been defined in patients with bilateral and even unilateral vestibular loss (UVL). We compared the cognitive test results of 21 acute UVL age- education-matched healthy controls. The diagnosis was based on clinical findings, a normal magnetic resonance imaging diffusion-weighted sequence canal paresis affected side caloric testing. tests assessing (Benton’s Judgment Line Orientation test, Verbal non-verbal Cancellation tests, Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure test) global mental status, verbal memory, learning, retention information, recalling (Mini Mental State Examination, Oktem Memory Process Test, Forward Backward Digit span) were used addition to Beck depression Anxiety inventories. Abnormalities cancellation ( p < 0.005), Benton’s = 0.042) backward digit span 0.029) found. A very prominent difference regarding 0.012) anxiety inventories 0.001) present. On multiple regression analysis, abovementioned tests’ lost their statistical significance > 0.05) when scores taken into consideration. severity found be correlated 0.008, r − 0.5639) copying 0.029, 0.477).
