Quantitative Video-Oculography for Diagnosing Stroke at the Bedside in Acute Vertigo: An "ECG" for the Eyes
Neuro-ophthalmology/Neuro-otology
IN4 - (-)
006
An estimated 250-500,000 patients present to US emergency departments annually with new, severe, persistent vertigo or dizziness. Roughly 70% have vestibular neuritis, but about 25% have posterior fossa strokes. Strokes can be distinguished from benign peripheral causes of AVS using three rapid bedside oculomotor tests (HINTS). The H.I.N.T.S. approach is more sensitive and less costly than MRI for acute stroke diagnosis in AVS, but requires expertise not routinely available.
Prospective diagnostic accuracy study (08/2011-06/2012). Adult emergency department patients with AVS defined as new, persistent dizziness/vertigo, nystagmus, plus one or more of the following: (1) nausea/vomiting, (2) head motion intolerance, (3) new gait unsteadiness. We measured H.I.N.T.S. results including quantitative horizontal head impulse testing of vestibulo-ocular reflex function. Two masked vestibular experts rated oculomotor findings, which were compared to final diagnoses. Final diagnoses were considered "gold-standard" if masked neuroimaging raters agreed MRI brain with diffusion-weighted imaging (MRI-DWI) showed an acute stroke at any time or was negative >48 hours but <7 days after symptom-onset.
We identified 22 consecutive AVS patients and included 20. Mean age was 60 years (range 30-76) and 15 were men. All underwent MRI-DWI, 12 in the optimal time window. Expert-rated video-oculography-based H.I.N.T.S. exam was 100% accurate (10 strokes, 10 peripheral vestibular) relative to gold-standard neuroimaging diagnoses (n=12) or final expert clinical diagnoses (n=8).
Device-based physiologic diagnosis of vertebrobasilar stroke in AVS is possible. This bedside "eye ECG" approach could fulfill a critical need for timely, accurate, efficient diagnosis in emergency department patients with dizziness and vertigo.
