Very infomative! Thank you for posting

14.49. I think that the innervation is not correct regarding vestibular nucleus, MLF, abduscent nucleus etc.

What is the ram

Can it show if you have a mini stroke

[@InteracousticsTV]

Hi Elizabeth,
In short, the caloric test cannot be used to identify mini strokes or any other neurological abnormalities. It is a test of inner ear function only. It is a peripheral test.

@@InteracousticsTV do they have one to test neurologist

[@InteracousticsTV]

@@elizabethcantu9128 We do have many solutions that are frequently used by neurologists, such as oculomotor testing and saccadometry testing.
Are you asking as a patient or clinician?
Best regards,
