CALORIC TESTS

Elicitation of a rotatory nystagmus by stimulating the semicircular canals with water or air which is above or adown body temperature. In warm caloric stimulation a rotatory nystagmus is developed toward the side of the stimulated ear; in cool, away from the stimulated side. Absence of nystagmus indicates the labyrinth is not functioning.
