Electronystagmography (ENG or electrooculography) is used to evaluate people with vertigo (afalse sense of spinning or motion that can cause dizziness) and certainother disorders that affect hearing and vision. Electrodes are placed atlocations above and below the eye to record electrical activity. Bymeasuring the changes in the electrical field within the eye, ENG candetect nystagmus (involuntary rapid eye movement) in response to variousstimuli. If nystagmus does not occur on stimulation, a problem may existwithin the ear, nerves that supply the ear, or certain parts of the brain.This test may also be used to distinguish between lesions in various partsof the brain and nervous system.
ENG)
External or outer ear. This consists of the pinna or auricle (the outside part of the ear) and the external auditory canal or tube (the tube that connects the outer ear to the inside or middle ear).
Middle ear (tympanic cavity). This consists of ossicles (three small connected bones) that transmit sound waves to the inner ear, and the eustachian tube (a canal that links the middle ear with the throat area).
Calibration test. This involves following a light about 6 to 10 feet away with your eyes. This test measures ocular dysmetria (a condition in which movements of the pupil of the eye overshoot their target).
Gaze nystagmus test. This involves staring at a fixed light placed either to the center or side as you are seated or lying down. This test measures how well you can fix your gaze at an object without your eyes moving involuntarily.
Positional test. This involves moving your head and perhaps your whole body as opposed to just your eyes. For example, you may be instructed to turn your head quickly to one side, or you may be asked to sit up quickly after you have been lying down. The amount of eye motion that results from this activity is recorded.
Water caloric test. This involves introducing warm or cool water into the ear canal with a syringe so that it touches the tympanic membrane. If no problem exists, your eyes will move involuntarily to this stimulus. Air instead of water may be used as the stimulus for this test, especially in those who have a damaged tympanic membrane.
The ENG is used to detect disorders of the peripheral vestibular system(the parts of the inner ear that interpret balance and spatialorientation) or the nerves that connect the vestibular system to thebrain and the muscles of the eye.
The test may be performed if an individual is experiencing unexplaineddizziness, vertigo, or hearing loss. Additional conditions in which ENGmay be performed are acoustic neuroma, labyrinthitis, Usher syndrome,and Meniere's disease. If a known lesion exists this test can identifythe actual site.
A paste will be used to attach the electrodes. One electrode will be positioned in the center of your forehead, and the other electrodes will be positioned above the eyebrow and below the eye in a way that allows you to close your eyes. Electrodes may also be placed to the side of each eye.
Depending on the type of test being performed, you may be asked to look up, down, or to the side or move your head and/or entire body. You may also be asked to close your eyes, which does not hinder the recording of eye movement.

The ENG gene provides instructions for making a protein called endoglin. This protein is found on the surface of cells, especially in the lining of developing arteries. It forms a complex with growth factors and other proteins involved in the development of blood vessels. In particular, this complex is involved in the specialization of new blood vessels into arteries or veins. 2ff7e9595c
