Abstract Introduction and objectives The caloric test is the gold standard for the loss of vestibular function diagnosis.

We intend to compare the variation of results of the vHIT and the caloric test in patients with vestibular neuritis with respect to their initial condition at two different moments of their evolution and to check the level of correlation between them and with that of the DHI test. Methods We explored 20 patients with neuritis by using both vHIT and the caloric test on the same day. We assessed the correlation between these two tests and with the D…
