Abstract: In recent years, owing to significant technological developments and an increased number of investigators entering the field, there have been spectacular advances in our understanding of the basic anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system. Unfortunately, these advances in basic science are slow to impact the clinical management of patients. We have selected a few important advances in clinical neurotology that have impacted the diagnosis and treatment of patients with vestibular disorders. This material was originally presented at the “Mechanisms of Vestibular Function and Dysfunction” symposium of the 1994 Neural Control of Movement meeting in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
