The CMI test was administered to 42 patients with peripheral labyrinthine disorders to evaluate the influence of psychological factors on their vertigo: 15 with Ménière's disease, 13 with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), 11 with otogenic vertigo and 3 with sudden deafness.1) CMI III and IV types were noted in 40% of those with Ménière's disease, in 31% of those with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and in 18% of those with otogenic vertigo.2) CMI II type patients with Ménière's disease and BPPV had physical symptoms simmultaneously with psychologic symptoms.3) CMI III and IV type patients had mild recurrent vertigo without objective findings.These results indicate that the patients personalities had some influence on the clinical course of their vertigo.
