Figure 1 The head thrust test The head thrust test is a test of vestibular function that is performed as part of the bedside examination. The head thrust test The head thrust test is a test of vestibular function that is performed as part of the bedside examination. This maneuver tests the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). The patient sits in front of the examiner and the examiner holds the patient's head steady in the midline. The patient is instructed to maintain gaze on the nose of the examiner. The examiner then quickly turns the patient's head about 10–15 degrees to one side and observes the ability of the patient to keep the eyes locked on the examiner's nose. Note that the test can also be performed by starting with the head turned to the side, and then making the quick movement back to the midline. If the patient's eyes stay locked on the examiner's nose (i.e., no corrective saccade) (A), then the peripheral vestibular system is assumed to be intact. Thus in a patient with acute dizziness, the absence of a corrective saccade suggests a CNS localization. If, however, the patient's eyes move with the head (B) and then the patient makes a voluntary eye movement back to the examiner's nose (i.e., corrective saccade), then this suggests a lesion of the peripheral vestibular system and not the CNS. When a patient presents with the acute vestibular syndrome, the test result shown in A would suggest a CNS lesion, whereas the test result in B would suggest a peripheral vestibular lesion (thus, vestibular neuritis).
