Patient reports zero difficulties with balance and is an active pre-teen who snow skis, is a cheerleader, swims, loves to ride a bike, and enjoys long distance running 11
12 Neurofibromatosis Type 2 Autosomal dominant genetic syndrome caused by a mutation in the NF2 gene on chromosome 22 responsible for human merlin, a protein responsible for tumor suppression. Merlin is commonly found in nervous tissues, some fetal tissue and in adherens junctions (protein complexes that occur at cell cell junctions in epithelial tissues) Hallmark finding of NF2 is bilateral vestibular schwanommas Other cranial nerves and meninges Spinal tumors Cataracts Skin neurofibrommas The principal treatments consist of neurosurgical removal of the tumors and surgical treatment of the eye lesions. There is no therapy for the underlying disorder of cell function caused by the genetic mutation.

14 Spontaneous Testing Vision Denied Spontaneous Spontaneous Testing Vision Denied Spontaneous Summary thus far. Date Impression Localizing Pathology Posturography Normal from 2009 through 2012 Normal Asymmetry amplitude 2010 (L>R) with absence of right VEMP in 2011 & to iatrogenic CHL Normal Left; Indeterminate Right VEMP Spontaneous Not present in 2009 & 2010; Ipsiversive look spontaneous vision denied in 2011; slight RB 2012 Central vs. Left Peripheral Ocular Motor Normal from 2009 through 2012 (data not shown) Normal Caloric Patient deferred in 2009 & 2010; Deferred in 2011 & 2012 for their non-contributory nature (CHL)? Bottom Line Summary ( thus far): Normal physiology through 2010 Starting 2011, non-localizing subtle spontaneous nystagmus (not uncharacteristic of NF2). VEMP: non-contributory right ear and an intact LEFT saccular pathway. 14
15 Sinusoidal Harmonic Acceleration SHA SHA SHA SHA Rotational Vestibular Testing 60 0 Step Testing time decay 37% VOR decay time constant (normal >10 sec) Rotational Vestibular Testing 60 0 Step Testing 2009 NORMAL (>10 seconds) 15
16 Rotational Vestibular Testing 60 0 Step Testing 2012 ABNORMAL (>10 seconds) What has rotational testing added.? The increased low frequency phase lead in the presence of normal VOR gain (although borderline low), suggests the presence of a compensated vestibular lesion but remains non-lateralizing without caloric irrigations The 60 0 step test has essentially confirmed the presence of a nonlocalizing pathology although the diagnosis of NF2 suggests a peripheral SOL and what are we STILL missing? Velocity Step Testing LEFT RIGHT Per RIGHT 16
17 Rotational Vestibular Testing Step Testing = = % Right > Left Differential Physiology. Date Impression Localizing Pathology Essentially normal physiology; isolated slight low frequency VOR phase lead Essentially unchanged; Novel asymmetrical VEMP finding ( right) Essentially unchanged with the exception of novel absence of VEMP right ear (due to iatrogenic CHL); Ipsiversive look spontaneous vision denied Slight decreasing VOR gain with slight increase in VOR phase lead; slight RB 2012 Deferred Caloric Irrigations; Nonlocalizing SOL Which ear? Both? Normal LEFT saccular pathway; Abnormal VEMP right could this be the culprit ear? Non-Localizing SOL; Right VEMP is no longer useful; Non-localizing spontaneous nystagmus Is the undetected pathology getting worse? The addition of step test finally ends the dispute for peripheral dysfunction. Despite the normal left ear VEMP, the subtle indices for peripheral dysfunction lateralize to the left ear (likely the superior branch of the vestibular nerve. The right ear is likely the primary contributor to the overall objective vestibular response. Conclusions The left ear present VEMP suggests an intact inferior vestibular branch, however, the significant high velocity asymmetrical step testing suggests a primary dysfunction localizing to the h-scc and/or the superior branch of the vestibular nerve. The right ear absent VEMP is non-contributory, however, the previously noted reduced right ear VEMP amplitude in 2010 may suggest some involvement ( would/could this suggestion inappropriately guide our assumptions for any future vestibular weaknesses?) Rotational testing suggests a well-compensated vestibulopathy but earlier studies up until 2012 lacked any lateralizing value. The high velocity step test suggests a robust right ear h-scc response / a significantly weaker left ear h-scc and/or superior vestibular nerve. Is the right ear vestibular schwannoma confined to the facial nerve? In the absence of high velocity step testing, what is the suggestion for lateralizing any loss of function? The slight RB spontaneous nystagmus in 2012? Despite the historical surgery to the right ear, the robust right ear vestibular response would argue against any vestibular schwanomma tumor resection in this ear.unless medically indicated. 17
