Abstract
Schistosomal myeloradiculopathy (SMR) is the most severe and disabling form of schistosomiasis. Th e diagnosis is based on clinical, laboratory and image data. Vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is a neurophysiologic test that assesses the vestibulospinal pathway through acoustic or galvanic stimuli. Th e aim of this study was to evaluate cervical spinal abnormalities in patients with SMR. Fift y-two (52) subjects were evaluated, of whom 29 had SMR and 30 did not (normal control). Normal VEMP was observed in all volunteers without SMR. Abnormal VEMP was recorded in 34% of the group with SMR. Aft er treatment, abnormal VEMP was found in 80% of those with persistent neurologic abnormalities. VEMP is a functional test and the alteration may precede image abnormalities. Th is procedure may be useful for early diagnosis of schistosomal cervical spinal cord involvement.Biography
