electronystagmogram

    0.02 sec.
electronystagmogram [e-lek″tro-nis-tag´mo-gram]
1. the record obtained by electronystagmography.
2. a test done using electronystagmography, assessing the balance mechanism of the inner ear. It involves running a cool liquid and then a warm liquid through a tube within the ear canal; the change in temperature stimulates the inner ear, which in turn causes rapid reflex eye movements. The movements are recorded, yielding information about the functioning of the balance mechanism.
