FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out bithermal, warm and cold caloric tests with water and electric nystagmography. Heat loading involves taking hot tea. Cold caloric test is carried out in temperature interval of 20-21 degrees, and warm one in interval of 43-44 degrees. The caloric test is carried out before and after heat loading. Amplitude, frequency and speed of slow nystagmus phase is determined during each of tests. In case Nystagmus values in warm test being greater than those in cold test, and the given proportion is retained unchanged or grows after heat loading, vestibular analyzer injury caused by disseminated sclerosis is diagnosed.
EFFECT: increased accuracy of diagnosis.
