FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves examining vestibular and auditory function by applying caloric and rotation tests. Nystagmus is recorded by means of electronystagmography techniques. Central hemodynamics is additionally evaluated before and after tests. Arterial blood pressure, stroke volume and pulse frequency are measured. When recording nystagmus tonicity and hyper-reflection, single-sided hypoacusis and arterial blood pressure and stroke volume reduction after vestibular tests when compared to norm, acute ischemic injury of the labyrinth is to be diagnosed on the background of intracranial hypertension within the labyrinth artery blood circulation hemodynamics insufficiency mechanism. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy and reliability of diagnosis. 1 dwg, 1 tbl
