Hello
My husband had a severe vertigo attack after the first nights use of an cpap machine. He had an VNG test done ( Wearing an infra-red goggle with flashing lights for eye movement and also a flow of warm/ cool air in the ears . It showed he had completely flat-lined on his right sideā¦thinking this could be a fistula. When we went to the second ENT dr he did a fistula test inhis office. It involved the cool/ warm air in the ears. Neither time did my husband have a dizzy spell from either test. The ENT dr said if it was a fistula he should of been very dizzy during this test. Donāt understand why it showed up on black and white but not in his head? Did anyone have this happen to them??? Megansmom
Um, sorry for my confusion Megansmom, but I thought a fistula was the thing my husband has in his wrist to prevent his vein from collapsing during hemodialysis. What kind of fistula are you talking about?
a fistula can happen anywhere in the body - itās an abnormal connection between two organs, or two vessels, anywhere in the body. we just talk about fistulas here, assuming they mean in the vestibular system, a perilymph fistula, am i correct megansmom?
