The authors conclude that both electronystagmography (ENG) and videonystagmography (VNG) are useful tools in the diagnosis of vertigo and other types of dizziness and/or balance problems and can be used as part of a comprehensive assessment to provide information about the individual's central or peripheral vestibular function and side of the lesion. "The literature suggests that VNG is more technologically advanced and advantageous compared to ENG; but adds that the ENG remains a semiologically valid procedure, such as when VNG cannot be done" (p. 403).
