What does the dissociation between the results of video head impulse versus caloric testing reveal about the vestibular dysfunction in Ménière's disease?

McGarvie LA1, Curthoys IS, MacDougall HG, Halmagyi GM.
Acta oto-laryngologica.Acta Otolaryngol.2015 Jun 19:1-7. [Epub ahead of print]
CONCLUSION: It is suggested that the different results of rotational (video head impulse - vHIT) and caloric tests in patients with Ménière's disease (MD) may be a consequence of the physical enlargement of the membranous duct in the hydropic labyrinths in MD, causing a reduced response to caloric

Varshney A1, Sharma S1, Dey S1, Gupta DK1.
BMJ case reports.BMJ Case Rep.2015 May 24;2015. pii: bcr2014209029. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2014-209029.
An 8-year-old girl suffering from hereditary spherocytosis underwent splenectomy for chronic severe anaemia. Surgery was uneventful and the patient had a good early postoperative recovery. On the third postoperative day, however, she developed severe headache with associated abnormal movements of up

Posterior circulation cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after high flow external carotid artery to middle cerebral artery bypass.

Quach ET1, Gonzalez AA2, Shilian P2, Russin JJ3.
Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia.J Clin Neurosci.2015 May 13. pii: S0967-5868(15)00188-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jocn.2015.03.022. [Epub ahead of print]
We present the first report, to our knowledge, in which revascularization of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) with a high flow extracranial-intracranial procedure resulted in symptomatic hyperemia of the posterior circulation. Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a poorly understood phenomenon
