Comment on “Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials eliciting: an overview”

Abstract

We were pleased to read the review presented by Eleftheriadou et al. [1], which has been published in Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 268(3):331–339, 2011. This review is an excellent practice guide to understand vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. However, I would like to point out two errors in this review. The first error is in the section ‘‘Effect of electrode location on the SCM muscle and responses from the other muscles’’ paragraph 2 line 3, ‘‘...smaller myogenic response (n11–n15) can be recorded over...’’, in which ‘‘n11–n15’’ should be modified as ‘‘p11–n15’’ according to Deriu et al. [2]. The second error is in the section ‘‘Ocular VEMP’’ paragraph 4 line 8, ‘‘...is predominantly determined by saccular activation.’’, in which ‘‘saccular’’ should be modified as ‘‘utricular’’. In my opinion, these typographical errors should be corrected since these errors may baffle and misguide the general reader.
