摘要: Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic disease. Most common diseases are multisystem disorders that may also present with otological manifestations, and inner ear disease accompanied by vestibular dysfunction. This study aimed to compare the function between RA patients normal subjects using cervical evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs). Methods: In this cross- sectional study, 25patients (19 female 6 male: mean (±SD) age, 40.00 (±7.92) years) 20 healthy (15 5 35.35 (±10.48) underwent cVEMPs, 500 Hz-tone bursts at 95 dB nHL intensity level. Data were analyzed independent sample t-test through SPSS software v. 16. Results: The peak latency of p13 was significantly higher in (p<0.001). n23 left (p=0.03). Vestibular potential (VEMP) responses all (100%) participants. There no significant differences amplitude ratio two groups. Conclusion: According prolonged VEMP patients, lesions retrolabyrinthine, especially vestibulospinal tract suspected.
