Vestibular nystagmus induced by caloric stimulation (20 degrees and 44 degrees C) was evaluated in terms of duration, frequency and slow phase velocity in 80 patients suffering from clinically defined multiple sclerosis. Criteria of abnormality were established with reference to 3 confidence levels from normative data of a 15-subject control group. Abnormal data representative of vestibular hypo- and hyperreflexia were found ranging between 27 and 53% depending on different parameters and diagnostic criteria. Significant differences in occurrence of nystagmus abnormalities became evident by analyzing 6 different windows of the vestibular response. Different distributions of hypo- and hyperreflexia were observed in relation to the time-course of the normal cumulative response curve, as well as to different stimulus temperatures. For each subject the abnormal data of the 2 stimulated ears X 2 caloric stimulations X 6 analysis windows were cumulated, yielding an overall outcome of pathological results in 66% to 90% of the patients, depending on the different diagnostic criteria.
