Default Alan's results of his VIDEONYSTAGMOGRAPHY

Wow, that's a big word.

It comes down to this:

Everything was NORMAL, except a paragraph towards the end of the results.

IMPRESSION
Peripheral - these results indicate a left peripheral vestibular lesion involving the lateral semicircular canal or its afferent pathways based on the abnormalities seen during bithermal caloric testing.

Central There is no evidence of central vestibular dysfunction.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Balance rehabilitation is indicated, including log roll canalith repositioning maneuvers targeting the left lateral semicircular canals. Clinical correlation is recommended.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS.

Alan just picked the results up from Dr. Fred's office.

There were SO many people there, and Alan did not have an appointment, that I said "let me ask the guys on the forum."

Alan is bringing this report to his next appointment on May 10th, with his neurologist. I gather she will explain the whole thing to him.

Again, everything was normal, except for the last paragraph.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks much

Melody
