OVEMP in Myasthenia

The oVEMP technique is an accepted standard for testing otolith function in vestibular patients. It represents a quick, simple and non-invasive technique utilizing repetitive stimulation of the otolith organs with bone-conducted vibration to elicit an extraocular muscle response. Repetitive oVEMP stimulation leads to a characteristic decrement in patients with myasthenia, which can be quantified with surface electromyography from the inferior oblique muscle underneath the eye.
