What Is An Electronystagmography (ENG)?
(ENG) is a diagnostic test to assess a patient's involuntary eye movements or nystagmus. It is a non-invasive test that aids in diagnosing vestibular disorders such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuritis.
ENG monitors eye movements in various head and body positions and responds to stimuli such as warm or cool air directed into the ear canal. An ENG test result can help guide treatment decisions.
In lay terms, an ENG test allows doctors to assess how well a patient's eyes and inner ear work together to maintain balance.
Small electrodes are placed around the patient's eyes to measure eye movements while the patient's head and body are moved into different positions or exposed to different stimuli.
The ENG test results can help healthcare providers diagnose and differentiate various vestibular disorders, guiding the best course of treatment for the patient. The test is non-invasive and safe, and it can provide valuable information about the underlying causes of balance disorders.
