Simultaneous binaural bithermal, type 3 Even though the bithermal stimulus was administered to both ears simultaneously, the resulting nystagmus Nystagmus Definition Rhythmic, oscillating motions of the eyes are called nystagmus. The to-and-fro motion is generally involuntary. Vertical nystagmus occurs much less frequently than horizontal nystagmus and is often, but not necessarily, a sign of was in the same direction. In this patient, the nystagmus was of low velocity. To determine that nystagmus is present, there should be at least three recognizable beats during a 10-second strip. To type the response to the simultaneous stimulus, two elements must be examined. Is there nystagmus present? And if so, in which direction? A type 3 response indicates that the nystagmus was induced by both 30[degrees] and 44[degrees]C stimuli and was beating in the same direction. A type 3 response is a sign of an abnormally functioning vestibular system. The clinical significance is the same as for DP. It has no localizing value as to the side or site (i.e., peripheral or central). |
