ElectroNystagmography
i s used to record nystagmus, which is an
involuntary eye movement
characterized by the eye jerking back and
forth. It can be generated by the peripheral
vestibular system associated with each ear.
What we are recording then is known as the
vestibular ocular reflex. The ENG provides
a permanent record of eye movements, either
with eyes open or closed.In our institute
we use the ENG as a determinant of whether
a person's dizziness is caused by the ear
or if it is due to some other factor such
as the central nervous system so that the
definitive treatment can be offered
