Peripheral: Semicircular canals, otolithic organs, vestibular ganglion, vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII) Key facts about the vestibular system DefinitionĪ proprioceptive somatosensory system which mediates the sense of balance and position of the head relative to other body parts and the surroundings. This article will discuss the anatomy and function of the vestibular system. Via these connections, the vestibular system contributes to the adjustments of the head and neck movements, as well as the posture and balance of the whole body, vestibulo-ocular reflex and eye movements. The vestibular nuclei send projections into the cerebellum, spinal cord, thalamus, and nuclei of the oculomotor (III), trochlear (IV) and abducens (VI) nerves. From here, they travel through the vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII) into the central portion of the vestibular system the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem. The stimuli from these receptors are conveyed to the vestibular ganglion. The utricle and saccule, which contain the cells that detect the linear acceleration of the head and position of the head in space (spatial orientation).The semicircular canals, which contain the cells that detect angular acceleration of the head.The vestibular labyrinth is comprised of proprioceptive components located in the inner ear The peripheral portion of the vestibular system consists of the vestibular labyrinth, vestibular ganglion, and vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It does not store any personal data.The vestibular system is a somatosensory portion of the nervous system that provides us with the awareness of the spatial position of our head and body ( proprioception) and self-motion ( kinesthesia). It is composed of central and peripheral portions. The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.

No sellar or parasellar changes are indicated. Development of gray and white matter is within normal limits. FLAIR images do not show evidence of white matter lesions to indicate demyelination and ischemic or other disease. If this would correspond to any symptoms of the patient, one may want to proceed to an MRV. It is unclear whether this could represent some mixed drainage flow or perhaps a very small thrombus. The venous drainage pattern does suggest a slight irregularity in the left sigmoid sinus, in the posterior fossa. The cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres also reveal no focal abnormal enhancement to suggest a mass in any of these areas. No evidence of abnormal enhancement is seen on the thin section coronal and axial images through the internal auditory canal or cerebellopontine angle regions. Images through the head were taken both with and without contrast in the normal fashion.
